Before further discussing the name "Pod", please have a look at
www.line6.com/products/pods/ . There is a whole family of FX processors
for guitar and bass under the registered trademark "POD", and these
devices are well known and widely used. So itīs probably not a good idea
to name a software effects collection "Pod".
