> In the case of GIMP, the very name itself means it cannot be used in commercial enterprises.

I have no idea where you got this info from but it is 100% wrong. Of course GIMP can be used for commercial purposes. Or any purposes you want, really. The GNU GPL does not prevent commercial use.

pretty sure OP meant the naming itself of GIMP is poor and hard to sell in an enterprise environment

It probably depend on your environment I guess.

Nobody bats an eye when we say we edited their pictures with GIMP. Even our British customers, who are more likely to understand what "gimp" means, I guess.

I mean, they already often use mac OS after all, which means pimp, in French. And who cares.
