I think we should not be referencing Google in the name, even indirectly. We want people to see us as a genuine alternative rather than some sort of wannabe.

There is already a well known software framework called Electron. This might lead to confusion. The best names are those which return no results on search engines (in particular, Google 
)

Sadly this is true, otherwise it would be an awesome name!
Type Electron into Google and look at the first page of results. Then type IOS into Google and look at the first page of results. See what I mean? We would have an (yet another) uphill battle trying to make āElectronā most associated with this operating system in the collective consciousness.

I found out about you guys just yesterday from the Destination Linux Podcast on youtube. They too spoke about the naming/branding. Do check it out about their impressions on your OS.
Hope to chime in my name too if you donāt mind on thread that was done with @Manoj @Julien
How about āethosā? Stylized as ethOS

I am curious if we earlier backer will get new stickers/shirts with the new name some day in future
Hi, I donāt want to open an issue about this, but I think the name āeā or ā/e/ā is bad for searching things in the web. It is difficult to the search engine to understand that we are talking about /e/.
For example, how to find this forum? Try to search āe howto forumsā.
Maybe do something like they did in Go, use a short name (Go) and a long name (GoLang)?
Yes, it is known that /e/ is not search engine friendly.
However, the G-search-engine puts the search term ā/e/ - my data is MY dataā to the first places.
The only way I figured out to search it is typing e foundation phone
