I get the acronym is easy to pronounce with the suggested word, but why not just use the suggested word (destiny) as the name instead of the acronym. So much easier to read and write. They could explain the name's origin in Readme.md

"Destiny" would also be ungooglable.
Meanwhile, DSSTNE is completely unmemorable, so even if you wanted to google it, you're going to end up typing "amazon destiny machine learning" or something
I don't know about you, but I'm much more likely to be googling a project as I'm already working with it as opposed to for general information purpose. In that context, "DSSTNE [problem keywords]," seems more useful to me.
That's true... I was mostly thinking about the case where you aren't using it, but remember hearing about it or want to check it out.
