Why this name?
All three of us happened to take Law in grade 12 and we came upon the Law term, Hostile Witness. And it just stuck.
hostile witness
n. technically an "adverse witness" in a trial who is found by the judge to be hostile to the position of the party whose attorney is questioning the witness, even though the attorney called the witness to testify on behalf of his/her client. When the attorney calling the witness finds that the answers are contrary to the legal position of his/her client or the witness becomes openly antagonistic, the attorney may request the judge to declare the witness to be "hostile" or "adverse." If the judge declares the witness to be hostile (i.e. adverse), the attorney may ask "leading" questions which suggest answers or are challenging to the testimony just as on cross examination of a witness who has testified for the opposition.

If the event ever arised, then yes we'd definitely consider it.
