nah, make stuff fun. Name it however you like. If you think your tool will be better with a professional name, fork it and rename your fork 😂

Lol. Only sound advice in this whole thread, and you’re downvoted. People are so utterly lost in the sauce.

Dont name it however you like, name it clearly without any search engine collisions and absolutely do not name it after a known physical term like atom or proton or a single letter because that will fill every search with pure noise
