Why do programmers have so little imagination when it comes to names? It should almost never be the case that project names conflict

For one, the project started in 2019 https://geminiprotocol.net/history/ So, I guess Google should rename their LLM?

For another, to do that we'd have to follow something like the prescription drug naming process https://globalhealthnow.org/2024-07/why-do-prescription-drug...

That way, instead of "Gemini", they could have named it something like "Cymbalta", "Xeljanz" or "Cialis" :P
