Names are important. For what it's worth, the name 'beef' is peculiar to me. At first I thought it was a joke language like Brainfuck or ArnoldC. Java, fish, snort and cartoon devils are not nearly as culturally charged on many levels as dead cow flesh and all it invokes both good and bad. Where do you draw the line? A programming language called 'Christ'? 'Penis'? 'Dogmeat'? I'm sure you can think of some less obviously taboo. The only people who will be offended are those who seek to be, but that doesn't mean the name doesn't matter.
