coq
Coq is a formal proof management system. It provides a formal language to write mathematical definitions, executable algorithms and theorems together with an environment for semi-interactive development of machine-checked proofs.
Reminds me of a time when i created a library to work with iterators in lisp, inadvertently naming it cl-iterators[0], as far as the naming convention of common lisp libraries went at that time. Some folks(including me!) on reddit had lots of fun with the unfortunate name.

Naming is hard...
