I hope Google is at least acknowledging the origin of the name, even if they are not paying royalties to Randall Monroe.

Don't take my random pondering as any kind of evidence

The name Bard didn't fly, so they went for literal flying instead.

Either that or google sampled everything in the medicine cabinet
