I'm surprised they got rid of the Bard name. It struck me as a really smart choice since a Bard is someone who said things, and it's an old/archaic enough word to not already be in a zillion other names.
Gemini, on the other hand, doesn't strike me as particularly relevant (except that perhaps it's a twin of ChatGPT?), and there are other companies with the same name. EDIT: I can see the advantage of picking a name that, like "Google" also starts with a "G".
Just as one data point, bard.com redirects to some other company (bd.com), whereas Gemini.com is a company by that name.
I'd be curious on the scuttlebutt on how this decision was reached!
