Gemini is such a boring name for an AI (better than GPT, but not much). Bard was a much more interesting jumping off point. They could have continued with character classes (Paladin, Sorcerer), or gone with realistic bardic inspiration (Skald, Poet).

Why can't anyone name AI?

I suggest deep cuts, AI names from 1960s and 60s science fiction: The Prime Radiant, The Dead Lady of Clown Town, Klapaucius, The Third Fleet-Army Force Brain, The Great Coordinator, Trurl, The Demon of the Second Kind.

All are still available, Google and Microsoft....
