Comment (by joyously):

 Current sites with a made up word doesn't mean much. There are a lot of
 sites with misspellings and bad grammar and made up words. Why promote it?

 Have you considered the confusion of the template hierarchy?
 [https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/basics/template-hierarchy/#home-
 page-display home page template]
 The hierarchy is already confusing about which template file is used:
 home.php or front-page.php or index.php
 The front-page.php is first, and the theme has to make sure the Front Page
 setting is respected.
 The home.php file is always used for the latest posts, whether they are on
 the front page or a static page.
