Half of the "Debian" name comes from Ian Murdock's first name. The other half comes from his then-girlfriend's name 'Debra'. I've never heard anybody castigate Ian/Debian for that.

Somebody naming something after themself seems a little tacky to me, but I don't think it's anything to get bent out of shape about.

Probably because Ian doesn't try to commercialize and push a proprietary system of computing on the world with Ian plastered everywhere you can see.

Ian passed away on Dec 2015.

Is the issue the branding, or is the issue FOSS vs proprietary? I'm much more sympathetic to the later criticism, which really has nothing to do with the first I think.
