From a marketing standpoint, its probably a mistake to name it after a
popular satelite based navigation system. Maybe the acronym gets some
instant name recognition, but people will be confused. It could also be
misleading when people put on their resumes that they know all about GPS
(the programming system) and have the headhunters calling with Global
Positioning System jobs.

Arguably, it is probably wise not to mention "Ada" in the name since there
will be whole gobs of people who would instantly dismiss the tools as being
ancient-history, anti-Ada bias, etc. Better to sneak that in after you get
the foot in the door.
