Naming open source projects is a challenging task. The team hears this all the time, but hey, open source is about code you can use, a community you can join to make the code better, and the pride that people around the world want to use your code. If you are on a blue-team, you'll want to look at this project. If you are making lists of names that distract attention this goes on it. |

That said, I totally respect the project's decision to name it so. I'm sorry if it comes off as an outrage or an unnecessary rant. I understand it takes away the energy which is otherwise better spent on a constructive discussion of this excellent project, which is also surprisingly well-maintained. But, I hope you realise why the name is controversial, especially since everyone that has to use the project has to get used to seeing/reading/using/typing Moloch everywhere from the docs, to the CLI, to the FAQ pages, and what-not.
May be the project can explain their rationale in a separate webpage (if they want to) and that might help?
