How about an original and distinguishable name?

Then again, what did I expect from a company named cursor.

Why not evaluate them on the merits? Is the name really the thing that’s important here?

“GitHub has so many outages, but dammit, that other one has a terrible name, it’s practically unusable”.

And origin is a pretty great name to give a git hosting platform. And do you think GitHub, Gitlab are original?

This is a great name! It ties back to git nicely (git pull origin/main), and sounds human.

Cursor was also a great name given that it evolved into an advanced AI assisted auto complete. I think their team does a solid job with naming.

Then google the names and look what comes up.

Without additional search terms you get the wrong results.

A word that is already used in computer is a bad name.

And with AI it won’t get better. Ambiguity is a source of confusion and mistakes.

By your logic pull/push/main are also great names.

One main purpose of a name is distinguishability.

		If you google Cursor they dominate the whole first page Surely they have a chance of doing it again with Origin
