Names fall on a spectrum on this argument. Sodium is not really random because of the use of "salt" on crypto. It's like saying that libsodium is part of your crypto. awk is more random.

The argument goes stronger with projects where the creator seemed to just roll the dice with the name.


Well, "Aho, Weinberger, Kernighan" is not random but entirely unrelated to it's use.
