I'd be willing to accept it was just because of one queen's name, had I not read this article;

The petition states that organizers complained to People Operations, Google’s human resources department, and claimed the venue violates one of Google’s event guidelines, which bans sexuality explicit activity.

So I'd say it's pretty clear Peaches isn't the issue.
