we just started off as a side project and thought the name fitted well. With the strands, graph type structure, connections... We didn't think of getting people to use it until we found it was solving a real pain point for people, so weren't worried about trademarks or names. There was no other helix db so that was good enough for us at the time.

  There was no active one. We saw this and thought it would be a nice nod to history. We've actually spoken to some developers at apple who thought this was really neat :)
