The name is strange. Reminds me of a product-naming story I heard years ago. Papenmeier from Germany was once planning to create a small notetaker with built-in braille display. They originally planned to name it
"Braille Assistant", but the US distributors objected on the ground that they can already see users shortening the product name to "Braille Ass". I have a similar feeling with Carp, isn't the obvious transposition an issue? :-)
