Who ever said that was the point of a release name? It never really had a purpose that we can now look back on and say it failed. It is just a small thing our community has always done for fun. I find it hard to tell someone else to stop having a little bit of fun even when I might not personally find it fun and think it has little or no value. It isn't any skin off my nose so I say let those who find this fun have their fun.
