Often when programs like zellij auto-generate names they use a special curated list of words that have a low probability of being offensive. I'm not sure if that's already been done or not here but I think it would be nice to do. There are various lists that have gone to some effort to attempt to solve this problem like this one which would have solved the particular issue I found myself encountering today. From what I understand its not a problem that is going to be easily solved even with an application of a list like this but at least it could be improved.

I created a new zellij session yesterday and today (luckily before anyone saw it) I realized my session's name was "racial-control" which aside from the obvious of being uncomfortable even for a white guy like me, could also potentially get me sent to HR for an uncomfortable talk. My work around for now is going to just be checking the names of my sessions every time I create one.

Another work around would be to have the ability to rename, or choose the name (though I do prefer auto-generating names personally but having the work around for cases like this would be nice as well)
