Let's discuss a name for the new AsyncAPI design system!

[mcturco]

Good news! A design system for AsyncAPI is in the works 😎 For now, I am calling it Design System but I think we should ideate on a catchy name for it in this discussion. Some methods that we can use to come up with a name include the following: (sourced from a Medium article on naming your design system)

• Acronym
• Abbreviation
• Branded abbreviation
• Explicit naming
• Related proper noun
• Unrelated proper noun
• Unique descriptor
• [Adjective] + Design System
• [Noun] + Design System

Its very trendy right now to choose an unrelated proper noun (for example, Shopify's Polaris) so I think that might be super fun to ideate on.

Leave your ideas in the discussion below!

I have some suggestions for the names.

• Astral Design System or AsyncAPI's Astral
• We can also try giving a real name to the design system such as: Christine (AsyncAPI's Christine or just Christine)

Hope you'll like these 😄

Astral is a cool one! I enjoy it's "interstellar" theme. I think that picking a human name could be neat, but it might sound too personal. It would have to be an obscure name IMO!

Yupp Astral is giving a cool vibe as well. This name looks awesome.

• Serial by AsyncAPI
• Signal by AsyncAPI

[mcturco]

Nice ones! Serial definitely has a nod to software, and Signal is interesting because you need a signal to send and receive messages, which implies that our design system is necessary for our process. Thanks for the great feedback, Paul!

[yashsehgal]

Yes, Serial sounds good to me as well. Thanks for sharing @thehaupthaus

Maybe Elon as our saviour Elon Musk? I know that it sounds like but I'm serious here. Maybe someday even Elon will makea simple AsyncAPI (just that 8 letters) tweet and suddenly in 1 day we will have 10k stars on github 😆

[mcturco]

I agree, it could be a smart SEO move 😆
