This is a piece of computer humour (?), ADA is named after Ada Lovelace who
was an assistant or biographer or something of Charles Babbage. LINDA is
named after another Lovelace of more notorious fame, as in the old joke :

   Linda Lovelace eat your heart out - my Granny went down on the Titanic

I hope this solves your arguement!!
