   Yeah, actually I have thought a lot about it, and discussed with some other people offline.
   
   > since we already have pre-existing Pandas integration, having unrelated options referring to pandas could be confusing.
   
   This is a very good point .. I am thinking about using a different name such as pandas-on-Spark internally. So, for example, we could have a configuration such as `spark.pandas-on-spark.blahblah`.
   
   My current thought is to stick to use `pyspark.pandas` because:
   - I checked few references such as Modin (which is probably the most similar case with us) that uses `modin.pandas`.
   - Spark in general does not have its own naming in a component up to my best knowledge. As an example, [Shark](https://github.com/amplab/shark) became (or more superseded by) Spark SQL
   - Koalas might not be a good name in a long run either (as far as I know it was more like related to branding?) - it might be best to clarify in its component name in a way.
   
   However, I am open to change and to other names if many people think that `pyspark.koalas` or other alternatives are better.
