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 it´s probably not a good idea 
to name a software effects collection "Pod".

Just my 2 EURO-cents.
