Neo would be. Eh. Weird.

There are decent terms in the screenplay of the Matrix movie to draw from.

Despite nobody being able to spell most of them, the ship names would be good. Nebuchadnezzar, Logos, Icarus etc.[0]

There’s also other terms such as “construct” (the local Matrix instance /site before you enter the real matrix)

Most of them have gone already - e.g. https://github.com/matrix-org/go-neb was the first ever Matrix Bot, and https://github.com/matrix-construct/construct is a C++ homeserver...

I would love to be able to say "I use Nebuchadnezzar to navigate Matrix".

I use neo as the hostname of my Matrix server.
