Thanks for explaining, but it remains confusing! And it seems so unnecessary.

In general, I think you should not pick names from the domain where your product/tool operates in. For example, it would be equally confusing if a car manufacturer would brand its cars "Engine" or "Wheel". Such naming is worse than just choosing a fantasy name.

P.S.: As another example, "Java" was a good name. But then Netscape invented a language and called it "JavaScript", which was of course a very poor choice.

Right? Keep that in mind when you name your next language or project :)
I call dibs on "Cloxure."
