A pet peeve of mine is when projects get named after proper nouns from fiction for no reason. A holocron is essentially an encrypted book where you need the force to decrypt it. How does that relate to leader elections? It doesn't, it's just being twee
I was about to disagree, then I remembered how annoying I find switching between DEs and remembering the weird names they give the various utilities, especially when want to know the process name and the about window just says "File Manager".
I love this stuff. Seems like TektiteDB also has an implementation as well https://github.com/spirit-labs/tektite/tree/main/cluster

I think it’s fine, not every name needs to describe some aspect of the underlying project.
You're overthinking it.
A holocron is a storage device.
