While that may be the case, it is merely one usage of the word. "Git" on the other hand has a singularly offensive meaning, but that hasn't done much to derail the success of the tool.
This is an entirely valid point - not sure why you're being downvoted. I recently participated on a project with a client whose product name was synonymous with an alternate spelling of a rare skin disease.
We brought up our concerns about it in development, but they resisted. Their product displaced the skin disease search results in a matter of weeks after launch.
My point being: names are just names, but they can make or break through connotations depending on how well delivery is executed.
