When I first saw this, my thought was, "Wow, I'm surprised Anthropic hasn't pushed back on their calling it that. They must not know about it yet."

Glad to know my own internal prediction engine still works.

I called this outcome the second I saw the title of the post the other day. Granted, I have some experience in that area, as someone who once upon a time had the brilliant idea to launch a product on HN called "Napster.fm".

Surprised they didn't just try Clawbot first. I can see the case against "Clawd" (I mean; seriously...) but claws are a different matter IMHO, with that mascot and all.

It's probably still a bit too close. "Claw'd" might actually be a trademark of Anthropic now. The character and name originates from this Claude Sonnet 3.5 advertisement in June 2024, promoting the launch of the Artifacts feature by building an 8-bit game

"Have the crab jump up and over oncoming seashells... I think I want to name this crab... Claw'd."

Also, if you haven't found it hidden in Claude Code yet, there's a secret way to buy Clawd merch from Anthropic. Still waiting on them to make a Clawd plushie, though.
