This is pretty cool! Are you sure about the name...

It's a system where a 3rd party library (aptly named Coq) gets to throughly verify your kernel, and you get to watch it do its thing? I think the name is fitting.

It's called Rocq now—for this reason.

Yeah, "coq" is a grade school joke in French class. It just means "rooster" or something in French, but it sounds ridiculous in English. This one has the same problem.

A company with that in the name made the French national team jersey for a while.

It's Nike now, but it still has a rooster on it.

Coq is also named after the creator Coquand. It’s a shame that his work is being minimized because the English-speaking majority is sensitive and can’t hear a homonym for the slang for a male body part.

I wish we sometimes lived in a world where people wouldn’t be afraid at work to discuss why they like or dislike Coq or whether it meets their needs or if it’s too much for them. A man can dream though, a man can dream.

To be entirely fair cock (which surprisingly isn't actually derived from french but from english's germanic roots) also means rooster in english as well.

Aren't we more mature than this? Granted, it's the first thing I thought of as well

Can we instead please be mature about choosing a adequate sounding name?
