You are right and it is the usual old gossip you hear often.
It has all to do with image and IMHO rather linked to the kind of applicati=
ons that are made (or people think are made) with Ada, much more than the s=
yntax.
The only way to change that is having someone making a successful Web servi=
ce or popular desktop applications with Ada and develop into a large softwa=
re company using principally Ada.
So go for it with Jada or Cada, but use another name, otherwise people will=
 think you are trying to make a complex, heavy, and military variant of C o=
r Java ;-).
