- it is short
- similar to nix
- is short for "auxiliary" which can be used to mean "another", "additional", "secondary", "separate"; so it being a separate nix ecosystem lines up

Doesn't have to be bikeshedding. It's 2 steps:

@jakehamilton @onlinepersona @recursive_recursion By contrast, I'm a big fan of the name, it seems very fitting.

The SEO on this name is going to be a major irritation for adoption.

But that aside, doesn’t it strike you as a concerning that this project is born at least in part from the complaints about a “benevolent dictator”, and the very first time—at least that I’ve seen—someone asks you to put something up for community consensus you say no?

Naux

There, fits all your criteria, is even closer to Nix and appears to have fewer SEO issues as far as I can tell.

And as a cherry on top: “Naux is a medication that combines diphenhydramine and 8-chlorotheophylline to prevent and treat nausea, vomiting, vertigo, and motion sickness.“ 😄
