Using "PHP" in a project title

Does anyone know if there are any hard and fast rules about using "PHP" within a project title, rather like phpMyAdmin does?

My guess would be the general advice for picking any name:

- is it free? (other projects with the same name, domain names, trademarks, etc)
- is the name good? (usable, easy to remember, etc)

I'm pretty sure you're free to use the name in anything without any copyright or trademark issues, but I wouldn't recommend it. It ties your project to PHP. Will you still be using it in 3 years time?

Cheers Mike, I knew I had seen something along those lines somewhere.
