True, but no more ridiculous and random than, say, US Navy Fighter Squadron 143's official name being "The Pukin' Dogs." (Of course, a lot depends on how plausible the unit name's backstory is...)

Spoiler for Pumpkin Scissors manga:

And we haven't seen the half of it yet. Alice is a serious melee combat expert, and I can't wait to see manga volumes 4 and 5 animated.

I'm only a bit disappointed that we never actually see her as she appears on the cover of Volume 3 - I think the combination of the ballgown and the long double-blade would be stunning to watch. (Volume 3 = long blade + uniform, Volumes 4-5 = dagger + ballgown.)
