    It's not a very creative name. Just look at the list just Wikipedia has for what the name might possibly refer to:

      @bagder even when you think a name is somewhat unique, things can be unfortunate. Or Atari demo group is called Dead Hackers Society.

      I refuse to capitulate the acronym, we had it first.

        @bagder It does not even list the Atari ST Desktop named Gemini that a friend and me made in 1989.

        Too ancient, lost in time...😌

            @bagder to me the first association of Gemini is still the early US rocket program 🚀

              @bagder
              I think they intentionally named it after the Gemini space program, which was in between Mercury and Apollo on the complexity scale, like the protocol tries to be between Gopher and HTTP

                  @bagder Well, I'm sure that the name was suggested by AI and so there was nobody at Google who could come up with a better name, so... 🤷‍♂️ 😅

                      @bagder I think it's fine for Gemini to refer to two things

                              @bagder Don’t get me started on the word “Shortcuts”. Big name space pollution. You have the old school keyboard shortcut like cmd/ctrl-c for cut. Then there’s Apple’s text replacement shortcuts that are like Text Expander’s. Then the branded automation “Shortcut”. It is so hard to search for an “Apple (automation) Shortcut” on the web.

                                @bagder That's why I name all my programs by shade of blues.
                                I wrote an Azure 25 years ago, maybe I can get Microsoft to change theirs?

                                    @bagder I'm kinda surprised Google hasn't renamed it yet, or broken or into two confusingly similar products with slightly doesn't purposes
