It's not a great choice though. The idea of horcrux is that any piece is enough which is basically exactly the opposite of what shamir secret does ;) It was a much better choice for a script with the same name I used a while ago that would duplicate backups on several storage systems.

Anyway, who cares about the name, it's a pretty cool website :)

Not to mention that there are already two other similar projects with the same name:
