Funny, in the US I just saw a car that was an “SS” model and I thought “Huh, apparently SS doesn’t immediately scream Nazis to Americans” (SS => Super Sport apparently, to Chevrolet)
I think most Americans think of that as well. It’s even the first several Google search results for “ss”. Bad name choice.
Though we (Americans) didn’t get the fun “tulip” bit.

Yeah, the nazi secret police is still the first thing that comes to mind when most Americans hear/see “SS” without context.
There’s so many poor names in FOSS but people refuse to change them out of attachment for history. One other example comes to mind: Gimp.
Basically, devs are terrible at naming things.
Unique and Bad names are very memorable
Like WSUS for patching windows machines, very sus indeed :)
