Every name is going to put someone or another off, can't really help it.
OpenBSD has their daemon and there are already funny anecdotes about it,

As mentioned by Susam in previous mail, as well as the repo README, the
name refers both to 'eVil' (extensible Vi Layer) as well as 'God-mode'.
The name is distinct, and I like it for what it is.
