For a moment it was called Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365. Naming things is hard.

Reminds me of Microsoft OneCare which sounds like saying 'wanker' with a slight French accent

Claude sounds like bollocks in Dutch ('kloot')

Pretty sure bollocks was the literal example I read on HN like 10 years ago of what your cool-sounding product name will turn out to mean in Spanish, but I can't remember if the moral of the story was to check every language or to just accept it because it'll happen anyway

Anyway, the various tech podcasts caught on after a few episodes and seem to now pronounce it more foreignly, so it's now more like clod

The name that still takes the cake is Github Advanced Security for Azure DevOps.

Now 365 is also called Copilot, so it's Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft Copilot
