Nobody is going to give a flying fuck what your company is named on a mortgage application.

Honestly there are companies with _much_ worse names in active use like "Dick & Daughters"[0] or "Ismail ANUS"[1] who even got an appointment to the queen.

Seriously, it's bikeshedding, and the point of the DB is that you don't think about it all day.

I also don't think of women called Cassandra when I use the database of the same name. Bikeshedding. Seriously.

Just one Dick, not "Dicks", and you posted the same link twice :D

oops, thanks for pointing that out.

Dick & Daughters or Ismael ANUS are definitely not more vile then Cockroach. The former are names rooted in tradition, not some idea of a an arrogant hipster joke. To call a company Cockroach is fucken arrogance. Plain and Simple.

Cockroach is just a creature. How is it arrogance. It reeks of arrogance to call yourself "Lionhead" or "Jaguar" or "Oracle". Some form of apex predator or all-knowing entity.

Also "Is Male Anus" is not rooted in tradition at all.
