Pretty sure EMACS beat Kubernetes to the punch. This Helm, too, is pretty old now.

Complaining about names is ridiculous. There are only so many names to go around, and there's almost no overlap in use-case or userbase between a synthesizer and a throwaway piece of business software for Yet Another Soulless Cloud Ecosystem.

Naming things isn't hard. What's hard is that people feel possessive over English words. You probably share your name with hundreds of thousands of people in your country.

Comparing names of products to names of people simply doesn't make sense. Ideally you want to pick a name for your product which stands out and people will remember. You shouldn't need to clarify by saying 'use Kubernetes Helm' or 'use the synthesiser Helm'.

However people aren't usually named this way, and so you cannot compare names this way.
