Is there an "in joke" to this name that I am too old to get? Or it's just a whimsically random name?

I believe it’s an internal code name that stuck.

To expand, it comes from the stealth name it was given on LMArena I believe. The model made news while still in "stealth mode" and so Google capitalised on the PR they'd already built around that and just launched it officially with the same name.
