I just can't imagine a less inspiring name. It feels like Bard was a joke, internal name. When OpenAI came out with their stuff, Google decided to rush this to market with little thought given to the branding.
Given that most people don't read NYTs, let alone have heard of OpenAI or ChatGPT, this will mark the first true exposure to language models for many Americans and Britons. fun times ahead
