It was called Benthos from the very first commit (Aug 25th, 2015): https://github.com/benthosdev/benthos/commit/e4933adf7c07460...

LE: I should've mentioned that the official mascot is called The Benthos Blobfish: https://www.benthos.dev/blobfish/

The mascot really really creeps me out.

This is entirely subjective, of course, and I really don't want to be mean about it, but I thought it might be a helpful data point for you to collate in case others feel the same way: If I were forced to use benthos, and had that ugly thing on my screen all day long due to working with benthos documentation etc. I really don't know whether I could handle it.

Sorry to hear that, unfortunately you can't please everyone whilst also having fun, and my open source work is unapologetically fueled by fun.
