Honest to gods, this conversation happened today, and it may have cost me a job opportunity. The customer was super impressed with my menu design and animation, and wanted to know who we got it from. When I said I did it, their face lit up! Too bad as soon as i said GIMP, they weren't interested anymore. Has anyone else experienced this? What do you say in similar situations?

Software naming is usually depends on original maintainer language.

I've seen people claiming "weird software name" while it's just good name in another language. Like it could be Hindi, Chinese, Russian, Arabic, and so on.

Forcing non-Western developer to make "English-friendly" name seems anti-inclusive.

It's 21st century. English monoliguist also have to tolerate language accross the world, not just expecting non-English speaker to tolarate them.
