"It should almost never be the case that project names conflict"
My corollary to this is "You should never reach for a language you are not fluent in for a name. Especially, just stop it with using Japanese words to name stuff please ffs"
The engineering team at Deep Mind does have penchant for names in foreign languages as seen in Veo, Lyria and Gemini.

I agree, but that still doesn't stop funny name related issues between languages. One of my favourites was Pidora (a Fedora release for the RPI) which caused offence to some Russian speakers.
Heh good point. Coq comes to mind too...there was something else recently that sounded terrible in French..."Bitchat" maybe?
