Once again I was bit by not reading the link thoroughly enough. I hope I'm not the only one that's happened to. ;)

Nonetheless, the problem of naming things actually stands. Trademark law aside, imagine if you tried to make a program like a torrent client called "Volvo". Names exist in a global namespace, and things will collide, and that's bad for everyone involved.

Had I made the original hardware product, I would have named it the "Synthstrom Deluge" to avoid this problem.
