So I can't call out clickbait titles that seem intentionally deceptive? Less of a name collision and more of a name 'drive my car off a bridge for clicks'.

The language is well over a decade, and, though my memory fails me, probably more like two decades old; the associated files were originally hosted on the creator's university web site, but he has since passed away. It was a product of the naming pattern of its time, not of any attempt at clickbait.
Frankly nothing about this title seems clickbaity to me. The word "Joy" can be ambiguous here is the real issue.
