WordPress names their 3.1 release: Reinhardt
Well, I guess their lawyers will have some work to do.

How about someone sends a polite but firm email before calling a lawyer?

Orrr... they could just deal with it, because it's just a version codename and it's not like people are going to start calling WordPress, "Django".
This shouldn't be a big deal, it's two OSS projects.

On the other hand, names are meant to be used, otherwise why have one at all. So there would have been people referring to the Django release of WordPress - at least for a while. That would be very confusing.
