assuming you're a new free sw project, and you wrangle with finding a name for it. should there be a blacklist of forbidden names of which your projects name should be of a certain minimum levenshtein distance? like is starlink too close to stalin?

@stf does a distance of 2 imply there can only be 26 different 3-letter projects?

@stf Given that 1) naming things is hard and 2) you shouldn't reinvent the wheel, you just take the name of a similar project. (and this is how eventually every OSS project becomes "curl")

@supersingular ackshully levenshtein distance allows adding and removing letters.

@buherator i think another good name to aspire to is "sphinx"
