As far as I'm concerned, 'Netscape' is a good name. I always wondered

Silly names seem to be all the rage with start-ups these days, so
maybe the open source community was just ahead of the curve. ;)
For that matter, at one place I worked we used to buy submersible
pumps from a company that was in the habit of casting smiley faces
onto all of their float switch counterweights. We sort of rolled our
eyes, but we kept buying pumps from them anyway. People will tolerate
a bit of whimsy if your product is good.
