An app named Hamilton. "I named the app after my dog..." Who is your dog named after? Is this a dog whistle?

I wanted a dog my whole adult life, and my wife and daughter finally relented when I turned 50, on the condition that they chose the name and the breed. So I got a dog called Hamilton, and a lifetime of people asking if he's named after the musical. Or Lewis Hamilton.

The only dog whistle he responds to are crisp packets rustling.
