he gave me the wise advice that perhaps I should choose a name I love, rather than one I won't be ashamed of

Perfect reaction to a stupid mistake. And you made me discover the project, thanks 😁
A cautionary tale for the ages about the dangers of naming something that sounds cool without looking it up.
Now excuse me, I need to go back to working on my startup, White Grand Dragon LLC.
What an absolute lad. 💖
People were less sensitive about such names back before Nazism came back from its supposed extinction. The record shop in the book/movie High Fidelity was named Vinyl Solution, and I’m pretty sure there wasn’t any subplot about the owner either having Nazi sympathies (because what remotely sane person would stan a bunch of vanquished monsters?) or having made a terrible mistake (because nobody would make the, in retrospect quite obvious, leap, as everyone knows Nazis are extinct).
