Redis came from Remote Dictionary Server... so maybe Open Dictionary Server -> Odis

[mcollina]

CampoKV, because Salvatore was born in Campobello di Licata.

Dass (DAta Structure Server).

And when you get it as a service, it's DassaaS

Keyvi kivi

Or some similar spelling. I recently went to New Zealand, if you haven't seen kiwi birds they are so adorable!

fledis - For those of us who have "fled" open source Redis after Garantia Data took it

+1. I was suggesting kiwi earlier since it sounds close to KV (Key-Value).

[Conan-Kudo]

This could get... confusing with "kiwi" (an image build tool). I would appreciate it if we didn't do that. :)

"KV" is likely selling this project short IMO. I also feel that we should move on from "*dis". What happened has happened. Let's move on and build something amazing with a clean image for the community. There are plenty of other options to connect with the former Redis community members/users.

MemoryDB

Redis has more functionality than a simple key-value store, and this name is generic and quick to understand universally.

This conflicts with the existing MemoryDB service which may be an issue.

ReVo (redis evolution)

[kkofler]

Maybe a play on musical notes? "Redis" is "DD#": "re" is Latin for "D", "dis" is German for "D#". There are a lot of names that could be thought up based on this theme.

ReOpen but may have trademark conflicts

OpenRedis?

It worked pretty for OpenSearch, with a name that clearly states the goal of the project: being the [true] open-source version of Elasticsearch. Also, I agree with others about the K/V semantics. Redis is far more than just a key-value store. It's vast set of supported data structures is what makes it so flexible and powerful.

Odis (Open Dictionary Server)
