What are branding best practices and aerospace superstition?

BO is an acronym for body odor, something you don't typically want to associate with any brand.

NG is an acronym for No/Not Good used in various engineering contexts to refer to things that fail to meet requirements. A superstitious aerospace engineer might not want to essentially name something "failure" though in practice I think most aerospace engineers would love to call their rocket Explodey-9000.
