Engineer driven company. Not comfortable with girl names.

To fight against google becoming a verb
Google claims it's so that you feel like you're the one with the superpower, not some digital assistant. Google is a tool, not a person.
It's all about Branding. When you create a project with a name you have to spend time and money to brand it properly. Google already is a brand so they just saved on a few bucks.
To me i thought it’s to emphasize that you are asking google the same way like how you use the search engine. Like you are still asking google search, the google product etc, just interacting with it through a speaker.
"Cocaine poodle" works too
If they named it Shirley, no one in the household with the name Shirley would use it!
Long back people used to say “Google it” if you don’t know something. So according to them Google itself and assistant. But you never used to hear “Microsoft it” or “Apple it”.
