Laser Bees and Wonder Geckos

[tszaboo]

Seriously, how silly can Silicon labs go with their product naming? Is the marketing team living on mushrooms in Amsterdam?
Mighty Gecko Wireless SoCs.
EFM8 Universal Bee.
They just introduced the EFR32FG Flex Gecko MCUs

What would happen if others start naming their MCUs similarly?
PIC32MX Lodgepole chipmunk?
STM32F4 Attack Wombat?

[Mechanical Menace]

They sound like Ubuntu releases

I'd totally buy an Attack Wombat 

I can imagine it's hard to say these names in front of clients and keep a straight face, but it's certainly more refreshing than (e.g.) adding an "X" to a pile of other letters and numbers.

Their Busy Bee was busy buzzing around (out of focus on this YT unfortunately).
