I’ve tried “Dellberts” internally once and it wasn’t well received.

Dell: Delldos

Did you just make these up? Good job quick thinking!

Atlassian: Shruggers

Ayn Rand?

Marvell Technology: Kree

Stargate?

Marvell Technology: Kree

More likely a reference to the recent Captain Marvel movie.

I prefer my sci-fi aged and esoteric, like a fine wine. (Haven't watched most of the Marvel movies after it became sequel after sequel six months apart.)

"Jaffa! Kree!" is timeless (though with no connections to MRVL).
