You should worry more about the attention you're going to attract from that name. I'll re-iterate the above comment that its really a bad choice.

Naming things is one of the hardest problems period.

The naming problem is felt by all, but programmers really feel it. Go ask any parent how long they deliberated on their childs name.

I recently had a very difficult time describing a project that I'm working on with a coworker because of its name. After much discussion we realized we were both on the same page; but the name really threw them off. I am continuing work on the project, but also considering a new name. (though I can take a while to change the projects name as it shouldn't offend anybody)

For reference: Go do some cursory searches around 'misogyny in tech'

Lastly; here is another project with a similar name. You can see the result when this hit front page: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7121268
