I feel bad for people with the real name Claude.

Yeah, and we thought the most unlucky people were the ones named Alexa.

It took me quite some time to realize what an utterly presumptuous product name Claude Code actually is, but only because Shannon is rarely mentioned with his first name. It's golden calf levels of hubris, even more so if you consider how incapable it was on release. It's like renaming calc.exe Einstein. Incredibly poor taste, but entirely in line with AI tech bro mentality.

Yeah, especially since most Americans don't know how to properly pronounce Claude.
