Hi, About the project name and trademark, according to the trademarks@ reply,

So it's viable and I also inform the initial committers to think of the pros and cons. Let's say we don't have a blocker here but potential trade-offs. Apache Arrow can be a compare whose name is also a common word, and the community built up the brand recognition so the name is associated with the project. Best, tison.
