We honestly should rename GIMP. It’s a bad name. I think a new and better acronym would substantially improve brand recognition. Something like:
Free Utility for Creative Kits, Brushes, Overlays, & Imaging
FUCKBOI

That face doesn't even look remotely like a furry that is closer to a boomerang or an actual wolf than a furry.

I remember there was an effort to rename Coq, it turned out.. well? https://rocq-prover.org/
As for git.. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/git It doesn't seem it would be renamed.. However, got seems to be quite a nice acronym: https://gameoftrees.org/

Coq was such an excellent name. Short, memorable, unique, related to its origins and logo, as well as funny.
