People keep saying that in this thread but I don't see why. It's a unique enough name, and the entire first page of results is relevant. What's so bad?



It's like naming your new Model-View-Controller library simply "MVC". Ok if you're the one who first came up with MVC, less so if it's already a well-established term. Yes, all the results in that first page of results is relevant. But the results aren't relevant because they're referring to this library. Instead the library is co-opting the term that all of those search results are referring to.


It's actually showing for me as the first result in Google search, which is even better than simply appearing somewhere down the page.
