Naming is exceedingly difficult in today's litigious world and it is
surprisingly hard to find legally "clear" names.

One of the strongest contenders was Squeezebox Maestro, which was,
sadly, to close to several trademarks.

Other names that were considered were Squeezebox Jive, Squeezebox
Baton, Squeezebox Groove (which I still my favorite), and a bunch
more.

We also looked at made-up names (like Pentium or iPod), but those are
tough to do well.

In the end, while boring, it is easier and far less risky to use
descriptive names.  Hence Controller and Receiver.
