And what about using something called Debian? Is that a "good name" or a
"commercially feasible name"?


Sure, and versions named "potato" and "slink" and "etch" sure sound

Hell "unix" is a joke name, it's just old enough that people don't
think about it much.

IIRC, UNIX was named that way because of the system that Thompson and
Ritchie got the idea from being called MULTICS.
