Worst venture firm name ever

I noticed this in PE Week Wire today:

"Confirma Inc., a Bellevue, Wash.-based provider of computer-aided detection for MRI , has raised $17.5 million in Series C funding. Telegraph Hill Partners led the deal, and was joined by Fluke Venture Partners and return backers Northwest Venture Associates, Prism Ventureworks and Versant Ventures. The company previously had raised around $18 million since 1998. "

I realize it's a family investment fund and that it's had good success, but "Fluke"? It seems like the family would have been more willing to go for an uplifting name, like Ridgelift, Redpoint, Foundation, Sequoia. Anything would suggest more success and stability than "fluke".
