When the name was first announced, some people were saying that they thought it fit the Contemporary theme since the CR looks a bit like a toaster (especially when the building is viewed at an angle, as in the photo in alacazander's signature)!
Compare this 1930's vintage Westinghouse toaster (from toaster.org) with the photo in alacazander's signature!
There were a few other good jokes about the name but that's the only one I can remember at the moment.
