Why? Every name you pick is likely to be weird in one language or another. Mockito does one thing well as a name, and that is hinting strongly at what it is (a mocking library).

>is likely to be weird in one language or another.

But this name is weird in the specific language it’s imitating (both the -ito termination for diminutives and the drink on which I assumed the name is based are Spanish).

Wasn't it a riff on "Mojito" which was a popular drink at the time?
Mojitos aren't popular anymore?!
