Couldn't agree more! I've been down voted like hell on HN for mentioning how much difficulty I have with names of products in the Tech realm, got down voted hard for pointing out Cider was a dumb name for a program...legit its a name for a drink, thats been around longer than the program. What the hell is with Techies and not being able to come up with their own names for stuff?

I come from construction, truck driving and concreting. If you say its a duck its a duck. I've gotten to the point I just won't recommend businesses that do that kinda stuff it makes on-boarding new users a unnecessary PITA.
