- Delk 6y agoI'm a non-native English speaker, and I struggle to remember that Bloom filters are named after a person. I have at times, when coming across the term, ended up wondering how they're supposed to relate to whatever "bloom" the name refers to. I don't think it really "proves the point", though, except for the point that sometimes names are confusing. So maybe it would be nicer if someone had happened to consider whether a specific naming might be confusing, but that's not the same as "names that aren't directly descriptive are automatically bad".
