It's a system where a 3rd party library (aptly named Coq) gets to throughly verify your kernel, and you get to watch it do its thing? I think the name is fitting.

It's called Rocq now—for this reason.

Yeah, "coq" is a grade school joke in French class. It just means "rooster" or something in French, but it sounds ridiculous in English. This one has the same problem.

A company with that in the name made the French national team jersey for a while.

It's Nike now, but it still has a rooster on it.

To be entirely fair cock (which surprisingly isn't actually derived from french but from english's germanic roots) also means rooster in english as well.
