Really, Andrew, you are getting carried away in your demands.  You almost  
sound self-centered :).  dbuild is not made for Russians only.  Almost any  
English word conceived for a name might just have some sort of bad  
connotation in any one of the thousands of languages in this world.  Why  
should anyone feel obligated to accomodate your culture here?  I know  
Russians tend to be quite proud of their heritage, which is fine... but  
really, you are being quite silly to make these demands here.

That aside... my personal, self-centered feeling is that the name "bud" is  
quite adequate. :D
