NODE 7a538455The name "Crypto Kong"

I have received some negative feedback about the name
"Crypto Kong".
Two people have complained that it is unprofessional
sounding.
This is not necessarily grounds for alarm. One reason the
name irritates people is that it sticks in the mind like a
bad song, which was of course an important reason for
choosing it. No one is likely to say "Hey, I saw this plug
for some digital signing tool, but I can't remember the
name."
On the other hand ...
What do you think?

Keep it. If you're going for the liberal non-techie market, it's good;
if you're going for the financial market it's still ok,
and if you need to, you can publish a standard for it,
and some small Nevada corporation with a boring name can distribute a
Crypto-Kong-compatible product with a boring name for you :-)
Thanks!
