(Anonymous) 2013-08-20 04:17 am (UTC)(link)They Gypsy Moth was so named because of its nomadic nature, not because of any bad feelings towards the Romany.
As another anon pointed out above, look at bastard: It started off as a word describing a child born out of wedlock. Then that was associated with negative people. But then people forgot the original meaning and bastard just means a bad person and nobody things twice about it. And that's the SAME WORD. Gypsy Moth is a word completely divorced from the original meaning, and was never meant in a prerogative fashion. The Gipsy engine was built and named for the moth, FURTHER divorcing it from the original meaning. And the robot was built and named after the engine. It has zero to do with Romany anymore.
