What's up with the Celeron D's?

Why the Celeron D naming convention and not just Celeron like they use to be? I thought the D meant they were dual core just like the Pentium D's.
 
The Celeron D came out before the Pentium D (or even the Pentium D name), so how could you think the Celeron D is dual core? :p

The Celeron D is just the 90nm (Prescott) version of the Celeron. It has SSE3, 533MHz FSB and twice as much L2 cache as the old Celeron. The 3x1 and 3x6 models support EM64T.

But anyways, to make things worse, Intel has dual core Celerons on the roadmap.

basically celerons are getting closer and closer to pentium performance just like semprons are getting closer and closer to A64 performance

I still don't know why they use the D. Seems kinda lame to have a Celeron D not be dual core but name your dual cores Pentium D.
