Doesn't a name like this risk sensationalizing the discovery? I mean it's interesting to me as a layperson, but "obelisks" in pop culture carry a lot of woo factor

Not sure I understand. Obelisks seems an inert descriptor to me, it has no connotation in the field so it's appropriately a blank slate.

The big risk is we call a companion molecule asterix.

Sounds all like Miraculix to me...
