I'm sorry I don't have anything further to contribute to the discussion, but this is an amazing name for the project. The double-pun in the logo with the duck is the cherry on the top.

Actually, here's a small contribution: I do not work with web apps or nowhere near this kind of development (yeah, I also wonder why I'm a regular at HN), or have a use to the end product, but the name and logo grabbed my attention enough to click the link, see the discussion and read the front page. There's power to clever branding.

I've built a (proprietary) telecom billing system with the same name back in 2005. I can't claim that as a particularly brilliant pun since the system we were replacing was called "BillGates" so it was kinda obvious.

It is a bit perverse, right? A solution called "kill bill" that... creates bills.

[sbrossie]

Perverse is a bit strong :-) To be understood as killing the 'billing problem'...

[inanutshellus]

One could say it kills problems, or headaches, or anxiety. But what does it create? It creates bills. "Perverse" seems like a pretty good descriptor.

perverse: adjective (of a person or their actions) showing a deliberate and obstinate desire to behave in a way that is unreasonable or unacceptable, often in spite of the consequences.

Perhaps "ironic" would be a better word. :-)

ironic: adjective, happening in the opposite way to what is expected, and typically causing wry amusement because of this.
