Debby is actually the name of your real mother, you were actually adopted by your current family and your mother is trying to reach out to you through CCP patches.

I can't believe you guys are cheating on Aura. That's just wrong.

On a more serious note:

It's a fairly common practice for software companies to use a 'code name' to refer to a product before release (it helps keep the various development versions organized, and is easier to remember than something arcane like 'Build 0.1.412').

Sometimes it's a tribute to someone or something the programming team considers inspiring or admirable -- a loved one or a celebrity, for example. The codename is used internally, and is never intended to leave the building.

Incidentally, that can occasionallly backfire: When Apple was desiging the Power Macintosh, they called it the 'Sagan' because the team was a fan of his work. However, Carl Sagan sued Apple for unjust enrichment (basically, 'they're making money off of my name without asking me').

Apple promptly changed the codename to BHA, and Sagan was fine with that -- until he discovered that 'BHA' was a three-letter abbreviation for 'Butt-Head Astronomer'.

I can't get rid of my darn signature!  Oh, wait....
