Had you looked at the bottom of this page http://tinyurl.com/5xgx5f you would have seen that the library is dedicated to Joel's (passed away) daughter Phoenix. Personally, I think that the naming is rather irrelevant when all libraries are anyway listed on the boost main page: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_36_0 together with a short description. And if we're going to start nitpicking, there's already a bunch of very uninformative names (Any, Assign, Enable If, Function, GIL, Iostreams [like, what the hell, isn't this already in the standard library], etc.)
