As for the name, which I agree is problematic as is, how about EntomoDB for entomos (insect)?

Edit: It's not problematic if success is not an objective. But if it is, choosing a name with such strong established negative connotations is not wise.

How is the name problematic? I knew exactly what they were saying and why when I saw it. If it were me I would have shortened it to RoachDB, but that's just marketing.

>>How is the name problematic?

Most people are disgusted by cockroaches. I think that's a good enough reason to change the name, at least if you want the product to be taken seriously.

Friendly reminder that "Mongo" is a very offensive word in German. A "Mongo" is a person suffering from Down syndrome. CockroachDB is a walk in the park compared to MongoDB.

I agree it would probably be a good idea to chop off the cock.
