Seti and Boinc always have and, hopefully, always will be by choice

Do you *really* believe that they chose that name without realizing what
the acronym would suggest?  I'm certain that they not only realized it,
but that they probably chose the acronym first and then figured out words
that would fit the letters.

ACTUALLY it was mentioned to them early on but they had already
decided to use it, seems in the US that the word does not mean the
same as elsewhere. I can knock you on your head, or I can Boink you on
your head. The meaning is the same in the US. Elsewhere it apparently
means something else entirely.
