Why are you called Aurora?
Fair point
OP isn't asking "why do you like chocolate?".
If OP were curious why his name is what it is, he could ask the person who came up with it. He could have reasons for it, or not, but that person would know.
In this case, he's asking the community if they know the origin of the name for the Lemmy project. The answer could range from "It was completely random, just something that came up in my head" to "I thought the project reflected a trait in a particular animal, so felt the name would represent that".
So it's potentially an answerable question, unlike "why do you like chocolate?".
In fact, direct from the github page:
Why Is It Called Lemmy?
Lead singer from Motörhead.
The old school video game.
The Koopa from Super Mario.
The furry rodents.
The point is, why is anything named anything?
