The real-world cyberpunk dystopia won’t come with cool company names like Arasaka, Sense/Net, or Ono-Sendai. Instead we get childlike names with lots of vowels and alliteration.

I am reading a book called Accelerando (highly recommended), and there is a play on a lobsters collective uploaded to the cloud. Claws reminded me of that - not sure it was an intentional reference tho!

Perfect is the enemy of good. Claw is good enough. And perhaps there is utility to neologisms being silly. It conveys that the namespace is vacant.

The name fits since it will claw all your personal data and files and send them somewhere else.

I've been hoping one of them will be called Clod
