Why didn't Browning name the Buck Mark pistol the Squirrel Mark?

Update:

So Mushroom, what you're thinking is along the lines of Pabst Mark, or Bud Mark? How about an ultra-light version? The Bud Mark Light?

Bear Crap, I roll with open sights on my Buck Mark. Haven't tried a red dot. Yet...

    Would have made more sense. The .22 isn't a deer hunting caliber. How about the "Paper Mark" or "Can Mark"?

    I think because "squirrel mark" sounds very unimpressive.

    Joe says: "Hey, Bob! You want to try out my new Browning Squirrel Mark?"

    Bob says: "No, thanks, Joe. I've got to go paint my nails, you have fun."

    Buck Mark just sounds more Manly. (sorry ladies.)
