Give Compose mascot a name
Problem
Description In 2013 we asked the growing Docker community to choose a name for the project mascot, and "Moby Dock" has since be the name of our beloved whale. Compose's octopus mascot doesn't have a name. With Docker Compose v2 announced for General Availability, it's time we make Compose a first-class citizen! And as an open-source project, we want community to be the one driving this decision update to avoid conflict with living or historical persona, we don't accept real name, only will select creative invented name based on project context and/or mascot's octopus kind How does it work Please - add your suggestions to this issue as comments - vote for your preferred names using 👍 or 👎 reactions on those comments. _This issue is moderated: any irrelevant content will be deleted, thanks for your understanding_

To resolve this, a structured community engagement process is necessary to gather and vote on name suggestions, ensuring the chosen name is creative and aligns with the project's context.
