After the Lord of Heaven On The Eurasian Steppe, Tengri, the Overseeing Endless Blue Sky, Jerry. I thought the Mongols enlightened your ancestors about such things?
I read that it was called BlueSky because it's the original colour of the original Twitter logo, a blue sky with a white bird. The creators of this app are former Twitter employees.
Haha, Elder Scroll would’ve been the perfect name! Nothing says exclusive, mysterious social network like invoking ancient lore and hidden knowledge. Plus, imagine the drama of “unlocking” invites like rare artifacts. Missed opportunity for sure!
You can sue for anything. In this case, it was saying that it infringed on their trademark for "The Elder Scrolls." Would they have won if Notch had fought? No idea. But Notch decided not to fight it.
It's probably also worth noting that of the 3 branches of intellectual property law, trademark is most dependent on "use it (and defend it) or lose it." Thermos and Trampoline used to be trademarks but we're not defended and courts agreed they were now invalid. Wikipedia search for "Genericide."
Well, just as Twitter produces "tweets", Bluesky produces "blueskees" while Elders Scroll would presumably produce either "elders" or "scrolls". It's just good branding.
Missed opportunity, honestly. Elders Scroll would’ve been legendary—imagine every post coming with a dramatic lore backstory. Instead, we’re just out here vibing under the Bluesky.
"Some bots on the digital streets were talking about other names like:

🧡 CheersBot - Where every bot knows your name (and has your data)
BUT, they probably didn’t want an arrow to the knee or lawsuits from Tamriel"
