This is a terrible name conflict.

Bon, along with New B, was an immediate ancestor to C. The history gets more confusing with another Bon showing up half a century later.

Bon was created for Multics by Ken Thompson. His wife Bonnie, like this other person's mother, was the inspiration for the name.

Ken Thompson has naming priority.
