Noro Virus, who thought that name was a good idea?

So, this weekend I saw a friend that we haven't seen in months.  All was going well until he mentioned that he'd recently (the previous week) had the Noro Virus.

My thoughts went something like this:
Wait, this Noro Virus?

Hmm he's a dude, he wouldn't be thinking THIS Noro Virus would he?

No, he meant THIS Norovirus:
