Among some the term beaver is suggestive, or even offensive. Think Thelma & Louise; "Damn! I hate that! I hate being called a beaver! Don't you?"

It's a particularly lowbrow bit of slang and not something that worried me when I recently mentioned the name dbeaver in a professional context, although I am aware of it. It pleases me that I spend my time among people that are either ignorant of this matter or are happy to pretend they are.

I'm going to guess the cross over of Thelma and Louise fans and SQL database users is probably fairly low.
