Can I say that mastodon is a horrible name?
Lemmy isn't a lot better, tbh.
Also Kbin is a terrible name too. They really don't understand branding and accessibility in these new "grass-roots" apps.
Is reddit a great name? I don't think so. How about TikTok? Nah. It's about the product and its popularity. The name only needs to get you to the product. Past that the name doesn't matter.
It could be named dgoSh1t.biz and if it attracted the "cool kids", worked well, and filled a need it would take off.
