Maybe not surprising:

When I was designing the t-shirt for the "Seahorse Magic Sauce", I wanted to use the proper Latin name as the name of the food company - it is "hippocampus" (from Greek).  I had to dig into it more and found out that the part of the human brain was named for its resemblance to a sea horse.
