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.
God forbid some non-anglophone culture enters our collective consciousness.
It's Latin-derived, the pronunciation would be easier for Romance language natives, I guess.
That said, all languages are made up.
