This does kinda sound like something off the Dollar Menu, though.

  I thought of it as a joke name like Parsey McParseface: https://deepai.org/machine-learning-model/parseymcparseface https://deepai.org/machine-learning-model/parseymcparseface

  Only to the American audience. Doubtful that it evokes the same association in Japan (www-sys-aics.riken.jp).

    McDonald's is in Japan.

      But in Japan, is the culture there to associated all the Mc's with McDonald's, like in America? Do they even have the "Dollar" menu (Yen menu?). Anyways, I doubt naming McKernel had any thoughts of McDonald's and the implication of the cheap dollar menu.

      They'd have called it the Kernel Royale.

        Kernel Royale doesn't sound cheap to me, in fact, sounds regal =P
