I always liked the idea of naming a guild name look like it was an internal error. Such names were similar to NULL, which is a C-style identifier meaning to represent an uninitialized value, like Lua's nil value. Note many other programming languages use NULL too, most of which were written using C. If it makes any difference, WoW was written using C#, which is the newest incarnation of C.
