First impressions matter mostly to those who are influenced by them. Many scams have been successful because of exactly that.

A stupid name might do well on search engines for example (as in, those names could be easily searched)

Furthermore I don't really consider the name to be stupid. I don't quite really know of many other ways of succinctly highlighting resilience as a property in a name.

Then again, you can't expect Signal's target users (normal tech un-savvy people) to have FDE. But that's not necessarily bad in my book. IIRC Signal's security model wasn't aiming for maximizing security but instead making mass-surveillance harder to execute while offering an acceptable UX.
