I personally like oak a lot. In general I am, but that is of course
just taste, not too charmed with:

1) portmanteau's like jonsai
2) with very complex to write and remember names like Leporidae (sry Nour)

Oak is catchy, I like oaks, everybody knows what they are, easy to
remember and pronounce, and, for what it's worth, the JIRA key can be
the same as the project name :)

+1 for oak
