The creator of MySQL, MaxDB and MariaDB named them after his children My, Max and Maria, so why not

Then what’s about MongoDB?

Hi, it’s me, Mongo.

Here I was thinking the creators of MySQL learned from online tutorials and thought classes needed to start with “My” if they weren’t in the standard library.

after his children My

I thought you were kidding, but his daughter is actually named “My”.

It helps that it’s a name in another language (Finnish), where “my” isn’t a word, at all.
