I just think it wasn't why Houston chose the name.
But they have a history of making mistakes and realizing after the fact.
1836 and Dynamo.
They weren't trying to honor the USSR teams, it was a nice little tie in, and then people pointed it out what it actually meant.
Again, MLS being cute, and not realizing what they were actually doing. The meaning of the word is why they chose it, not because European teams used it. That second point just helped seal the deal.
