OMG. STWF.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jakarta_Tomcat

"Davidson had initially hoped that the project would become open sourced
and, since most open source projects had O'Reilly books associated with
them featuring an animal on the cover, he wanted to name the project
after an animal. He came up with Tomcat since he reasoned the animal
represented something that could fend for itself. Although the tomcat
was already in use for another O'Reilly title, his wish to see an animal
cover eventually came true when O'Reilly published their Tomcat book
with a snow leopard on the cover."

No. A tomcat is a male cat. This is not a cartoon joke. :p

Basically, that's not a question for the tomcat mainling list and you could
have found out your own with no effort, but....

Subject: How was Java named?


The story goes like this: 

We needed a name. We had been using "oak" (which was selected essentially
randomly by me), and while the team had grown attached to it, the trademark
lawyers ruled it out. We had lots of email debates about names, but nothing
got resolved. We ended up in the awkward position where the #1 thing
stopping us from shipping was the name. 

Our marketing lead knew someone who was a "naming consultant" (I don't
remember his name, but he was great). We could neither afford the price nor
the time of a conventional product naming process. He agreed to do something
rather odd, but effective and quick: he acted as a facilitator at a meeting
where about a dozen of us locked ourselves in a room for an afternoon. He
started asking us questions like "How does this thing make you feel?"
(Excited!) "What else makes you feel that way?" (Java!) We ended up with a
board covered with essentially random words. Then he put us through a
sorting process where we ended up with a ranking of the names. We ended up
with a dozen name candidates and sent them off to the lawyers: they worked
down the list until they hit one that cleared their search. "Java" was the
fourth name on the list. The first name on the list was "Silk", which I
hated but everyone else liked. My favorite was "Lyric", the third one on the
list, but it didn't pass the lawyers test. I don't remember what the other
candidate names where. 

So, who named Java? Marketing organized the meeting, the consultant ran it,
and a whole pile of us did a lot of yelling out of random words. I'm
honestly not real sure who said "Java" first, but I'm pretty sure it was
Mark Opperman. 

There certainly wasn't any brilliant marketing mind who went through a
coherent thought process.
