I recall that when I was a new engineer, my manager told me that I needed to 
have "projects for score" each year to increase the likelihood of a raise or 
promotion (or both ;-), AND that the more clever the name of the project, the 
more likely it was to stick in everyone's mind, and that, too, was taken into 
account as part of the success of the project. I have followed his advice over 
the years, even when I started my own consulting company.

CHIRP is so much more memorable than 'repidr', so I think it qualifies. I was 
on the MMS engineering development and post-launch data analysis team, and 
always thought that PhDs needed to hire some slug to name their projects. MMS 
is /so/ forgettable ;-) CHIRP is so memorable :-)
