The fact that it doesn't mean anything could just as easily be a point in 
favor; it isn't anything else, either.

Perhaps my recall of history is lacking, but I'd say PyPy is too easily 
confused with PyPI; wasn't PyPI around first, at least as a moniker?  I may 
be biased, since PyPI is my preferred name for it by far (the "Python Package 
Index" says exactly what it is, and "PyPI" isn't a real stretch as a short 
form).
