The only thing that's different between the era when Bison as named and now is the proliferation. There is vastly more shit in open source with the cute names. Back then, one person could keep all the cute names for everything related to C and Unix in their head.

I personally think that's a pretty good idea for coming up with better names instead of cute names now.
