There's some logic to it.  I found the opposite problem when I've
looked at KDE, in the past.  All those Ksomething named applications
where the name gives no clue as to what it does.  And Gnome was just as
bad:

Evolution - does that sound like a mail program?  There was a game by
that name, about evolution.

Empathy - does that sound like an internet messaging program?

Brasero - does that sound like it might be a disc burning program?

At least some programs acknowledge the problem (both ways), and you'll
find them listed in the menus like "Pidgin Internet Messenger" or "VLC
media player."
