All of these silly little names seem incredibly childish to me and certainly do nothing to promote open source software. They make it seem more like a hobby for teenagers.

A lot of FOSS code is created by hobbyists, in fact the hobbyists are arguably the primary FOSS developers. A small percentage of FOSS code actually becomes serious. It should not be surprising that some hobbyist developers simply don't care about promoting a movement, and are just messing around.
