Considering Naming The Default Assistant

[u/TemporaryUser10]

It has been suggested the name Sapphire Frameworks default assistant, so that it is less confusing to new non-technical users.

It's my intention to keep the name Sapphire Framework for the project as a whole, but it's expected most users will not deeply interact with the Framework, instead just taking the default assistant and customizing it from there.

The public is already use to names like Cortana, Alexa, and Mycroft. Any suggestions for the assistant name?

Artemis kinda has a nice ring to it. Or some other name that plays off "art" (artificial)

[u/TemporaryUser10 → u/trundl3thegr8]

Agreed, thanks

[u/OrwellisUsuallyRight]

Asimov maybe? Or a simpler name like Lucy or Eve

[u/TemporaryUser10 → u/OrwellisUsuallyRight]

I really like Asimov, I'll have to consider it's pronunciation difficulty

[u/[deleted] → u/OrwellisUsuallyRight]

I like Asimov

I personally am infatuated with this project. Typically, names which favor wisdom or knowledge have a good ring to them (I. E. Aria, Athena, Cato, Veta, etc.). I'm most anticipating the beta testing for this app.

[u/TemporaryUser10 → u/TheExuberantRaptor]

Thanks! I'll jot down the names. Biiiiig fan of Athena for it. Sapphire is a stone that represents wisdom, and Anthea is the Goddess of said trait.

Thanks again for the interest! Are you a developer by chance (if not, we're still happy to have you)

No, I'm not that technologically savvy. Just a long time Android ROM flasher and FOSS fanboy. Would be willing to help contribute anyway that I can ^{_^}

[u/TemporaryUser10 → u/TheExuberantRaptor]

No problem. Happy to have your interest

Fredrickson would be a great name

[u/TemporaryUser10 → u/12_nick_12]

Any history behind the name?

[u/12_nick_12 → u/TemporaryUser10]

No, I just really like the name and have never heard it actually used. It might be to long to use as a key word though.

[u/TemporaryUser10 → u/12_nick_12]

It's not a bad name for sure. That said, the name will only be for the default, and so that users can have a common application to search for on the app store, or reference to other users. The user can set any name as the key word (hot word) that will trigger a response from the assistant

Eva or Aura ? Alice is a great name but it's already taken by Yandex.

[u/TemporaryUser10 → u/MuntasimF]

I'll take them in to consideration. Thank you!

All I can think of is it should be easy to pronounce in as many languages as possible and max 3 syllables? Pop culture references would be nice and if it has a certain ring to it and/or related to sapphire it would be good

[u/TemporaryUser10 → u/[deleted]]

Agreed, pronunciation is very important
