Though I agree bard isn't the best name, gemini is a worse name.

Bard has connotations, but by it's self it makes one think of a person that talks well.

WTF is gemini? It is a twin, but this is a singular product. Beyond that it's just generic. It doesn't tell you what it does at all.

Not with regular people. Bard is just "old" to them.

Think of the syllables. Copilot. Gemini. They need to be close to the market leader on a subconscious level.

When the competition is called "ChatGPT", maybe the naming isn't as important to normal people as we think?
Microsoft is the competition. ChatGPT has been embraced and extended.
I read Gemini as twins, with the user and the AI making a pair.

Works for me.
