They usually don't have marketing departments or focus groups.

You obviously don't need those to come up with a good name; just some taste. Signal is a great example. Ladybird and Servo are good browser names if you want to stick to that. LibreWolf? Jesus, come on guys. Forgejo is another terrible name I heard recently. Apparently it's Esperanto, like that makes it ok somehow.

What culture is esperanto? That is fake invented language.

It's Latin-derived, the pronunciation would be easier for Romance language natives, I guess.

That said, all languages are made up.
