I was once asked to sign an NDA in order to discuss developing an app for someone. Upon signing, I learned that they wanted to make an App that let people check their makeup on their phone, without using the camera, by simply converting the pixels to 'mirror' colour. NEXT!
I would have argued that Deathbuntu sounds way better, but the name might be inappropriate there...
On a more serious note, I agree that the name choice isn't particularly good, but is *buntu really relevant?
I get that it might appeal to the technical minded people (and the creators probably belong to that category), or may sound a bit familiar to the masses, but I don't see any reason for them to keep this part of the name.
I would have named it after a drug or a scientist, I think.
The bottom line is that the name itself isn't very relevant. A good name would be something easy to spell, and with a neutral conotation, not too hard to remember, but without attracting too much attention, as this is supposed to be just a tool.
