There's already a fairly major software project (it's installed on a significant portion of Linux desktops) called Baobab, part of the GNOME desktop environment[1]. Not saying that software needs to have a unique name, but "Baobab", a type of tree, is a pretty distinctive sounding name that people would expect to be unique just because of how unorthodox it sounds. I can imagine people getting confused.

- riquito 12y agoI don't think that anyone may confuse a react javascript library with the Gnome Disk Usage Analyzer. Yet, being the author of Baobab the PHP library (http://www.sideralis.org/baobab/ http://www.sideralis.org/baobab/), I would have preferred a different name :-P
