This is a non-issue.

Look at MongoDB.

If you want to say "You're a retard" in German you'd say "Du bist ein Mongo". Mongo being short for mongoloid and just as `politically incorrect` as retard is in the English speaking world. If anything the name made the product more memorable for me (and I use it almost every day now)

Mongo is a horribly offensive word for the same thing in English too - at least in British English. I wonder if the developers knew that?

MongoDB is considered a complete joke by most who've programmed a distributed system.

So.... poor example.

For the first year or so I read about it, I though it was MnogoDB; as in, Mnogo Nukes. Woulda been a much better name.

Seems like a perfect name, then.
