Haskell was famously designed by committee. They also decided the name of the language by committee, and settled on Curry.

Later (I suspect over beer), two or three people from the committee thought that was too ridiculous and just unilaterally decided to go with Haskell instead.

Edit: Look for "Choosing a Name" in http://haskell.cs.yale.edu/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/histor... if you want the actual story, and not my faulty memory.
