I assume it's called this because a cockroach can supposedly survive a nuclear attack. But it's a bad name. It does not invoke good feelings.

[notduncansmith]

Maybe "Caracha" or "CarachaDB"? As in, "La Cucaracha". Still there, but veiled enough that it won't make people uncomfortable just on hearing it.

[taternuts]

I have to agree - maybe 'RoachDB' would be better

[morgante]

I like RoachDB. The idea is still there, but it's a little more fun.

[angersock]

Sure, but it goes down every April 20th...

[jc_dntn]

I prefer "CockDB".

[jjoergensen]

It reminds me of a female programmer that I once worked with. By mistake she had originally named one of our busiest databases "ClickCuntDB"

It was a database for counting the clicks on our website :-)

[saraid216]

Why? Because the database runs around like a chicken with its head cut off?

[oalders]

It's memorable and I think the meaning is pretty clear, but it did make me shudder as well. :)

[jmspring]

I like the name. I had a good idea of the goals when I saw that bit of the title without reading the rest...

[donut2d]

Have to agree. I have so many bad feelings attached to cockroaches that just seeing the name makes me sick to my stomach.

Trademark considerations aside, I'd vote for TwinkieDB

[Andrex]

Or even better, TwinkDB.

Ummm... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twink_(gay_slang)

Gotta agree. Cringe inducing name when you first hear it, but I imagine it would become less so as you worked with it more and more. You'd be desensitized to it after a while I'd imagine.
