the name is obviously a pun/joke, and the website is also trying to be humorous.

but I don't think it helps your product by now. It looks you built something that is actually useful and the pun/joke is not needed anymore. same for your website, I think the humorous part is distracting.

I think you should pick a unique name, the joke is no longer needed.

I don't disagree necessarily. I also love the name with all my heart
You should keep it if you love it, but understand that the name is limiting the project's reach. Not all projects are aiming for reach, but this appears to be a serious useful tool that you're charging for, not some toy. The name is stopping people from understanding the project and is limiting your income.
Why do you love the name?
Because computering is missing out on whimsical fun in every way nowadays!
Can somebody explain the joke to me? Isn't notepad.exe just the file name of the notepad executable on Windows?
Yeah I just found that title confusing
The element that provokes the most laughter is the punch hole in the MacBook screen.
