Has bad branding ever turned you off from software, FOSS or not? (lemmy.world)

I'll start: while looking at app theming I came across WallRizz, renamed from WallWiz. I haven't tried it, and looking at it documentation it seems well made, but I cringe at the name and the AI-generated penguin logo. It shares the art style of all the other AI slop, its basically italian brainrot but 2D. WallWiz sounds way better, rizz sounds like it was specially designed for gen alpha (little kids). If there are apps of even similar quality, why would I use this one?

I had to use this software at one of the companies I worked at and it was such a painful experience. This was 4 years ago, so it may have improved since then.
