Are we planning on keeping the babel-minify name? Might be better to have a distinct name for it so it can be marketed better. Being separate from the Babel brand, regardless of if it’s in the org might be better too since Babel has historically had the stigma of trying to be everything at once.

We should avoid a gender-specific name IMO.

Some other suggestions:

@kangax https://github.com/kangax kinda suggested David (David and Goliath) but since its a bit generic we could use a name that refers to him like the Psalmist.

We also can continue the babel/babylon (there’s also babylonia) theme would could do Nebuchadnezzar (a king of Babylon), Nezzar for short, or even the prophets who spoke of Babylon (Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel).
