How can you forget the Hurd???
http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd.html#name:
"According to Thomas Bushnell, BSG, the primary architect of the Hurd:
Hurd' stands for Hird of Unix-Replacing Daemons'. And, then, `Hird'
stands
for `Hurd of Interfaces Representing Depth'. We have here, to my knowledge,
the first software to be named by a pair of mutually recursive acronyms."
