Is this pun based software project appropriate?

I have an idea for a very light hearted software project, based on a pun on "Geronimo". Do you think this is appropriate?

I had a silly idea for a software package. It's meant to evoke randomness, and to be honest the entire idea came from the play on words I've derived from "Geronimo!"

However, I am aware that Geronimo was a real person, and a native American as well; I am British and my only exposure growing up to the phrase was via cartoons, so that's what it evokes for me, but I'm aware that that may not be true for everyone, and may come across as insensitive or even racist.

I'm really not sure how much push back there is about using the cry Geronimo to mean making a leap into the unknown given it's history. I'd be keen to hear perspectives other than my own on this.
