# Naming Guidelines
|
|
|
|
Companion names should be short, original and developer-flavored.
|
|
|
|
## Good patterns
|
|
|
|
Blend a technical concept with a creature, object or vibe:
|
|
|
|
- `Zap` + `bit` → Zapbit
|
|
- `Diskette` + `x` → Diskettex
|
|
- `Null` + `Wisp` → NullWisp
|
|
- `Prompt` + `Moth` → PromptMoth
|
|
- `Cache` + `Goblin` → CacheGoblin
|
|
- `Merge` + `Drake` → MergeDrake
|
|
|
|
## Good names
|
|
|
|
- LintFox
|
|
- CronCrab
|
|
- TokenBat
|
|
- EnvImp
|
|
- JsonGecko
|
|
- ApiOtter
|
|
- DockerMole
|
|
- Shellfin
|
|
- ForkSprite
|
|
- BugSlug
|
|
|
|
## Avoid
|
|
|
|
Avoid names that are:
|
|
|
|
- direct references to third-party characters;
|
|
- modified versions of third-party character names;
|
|
- too close to protected brands;
|
|
- hard to pronounce;
|
|
- too generic.
|
|
|
|
## Test
|
|
|
|
Ask:
|
|
|
|
1. Is this name searchable?
|
|
2. Does it evoke a dev concept?
|
|
3. Would it still work without any outside reference?
|
|
4. Could a contributor draw it without copying anything?
|
|
|
|
If yes, it probably belongs here.
