Does it matter to anyone but "outraged" North Americans?

I'd love to have input from people who are Mohawk, Onondaga, Oneida, Cayugaa, or Seneca.

BTW, I decided to take a look at Apache Incubator's projects to see if there's any outrage over (non-exhaustive list):

- Kafka (Bohemian Jewish writer)

- Chukwa (a dialect of Kulung language of Nepal)

- Geronimo (Apache leader)

- Hama (a city in Syria)

- Apollo, Hermes, Aurora, Aries, Isis (multiple Greek, Roman, and Egyptian gods)

- Joshua (Hebrew name)

- Kylin (name of a mythical creature from East Asian legends)

- Omid (Persian name)

- Onami (Japanese destroyers)

- Pig (insensitive to Muslims)

- Trinidad, and, you guessed it, Tobago (also many other geographical names)
