I like descriptive names on products.

K(oalupetta)INAE - K(oalupetta)inae Is Not an Android Emulator

I am torn about that. I also like descriptive names for projects so I know what the project is about, but I also find it fun to have a creative name for a project as well. A real eye catcher.

Basically, descriptive naming is good unless its so generic you have trouble searching for it on search engines or it becomes the focus of search results when you're searching for the general term for it.

Yeah Android Translation Layer is basically the perfect name for it.
