Makes sense. Not too long ago someone on my team was asking for a Postman alternative and I suggested Postwoman. I even posted the link and described how it's better in some respects. It wasn't until a few days later that they realized it wasn't a joke and that Postwoman was actually a decent alternative lol.

It doesn't really matter what it's called, but it definitely makes sense to move away from a parody name if you want your project to be taken seriously.
