Ubuntu has a meaning, and is an integral part of Canonical's marketing. SUSE
was originally S.u.S.E. - "Software- und System-Entwicklung" ("Software and
System Development"). A gentoo is a penguin, and Mandrake was a product of
MandrakeSoft (then with Conectiva added, it became Mandriva).
So they aren't really funky names :) But I get your point. The main thing
though, is popularity. Most of these have been around a long while now, and
some started quite small. As it spread, it became more well known, attracted
more people, and became a "common" name.

Or maybe KPhotoBook, or maybe drop the K, and go with PictureGallery, or
something more interesting, like daguerreotype, and have a historical
reference. Still on topic though.
Ok I'm going to stop or I'll probably keep going on a lengthy email, without a
real reason. Chalk it up to being hungry, and a bit bored, on a friday
night ;)
