What's wrong with bugs? They're cool, while a made up string of characters (that sounds good) might be better I don't see what's wrong with using an uncommon scientific name. Then again being honest is likely helpful.

i guess it depends on whether you're working for someone else or not. I'd guess most independent programmers would rather make new things rather then just fixing what they've made before.
