Hi Marvin,
you raise a point that we have a bit anticipated ;)
We're proposing Apache Dataflow naming because Google Cloud Dataflow is
an already known name and "brand".
The naming is not directly related to dataflow programming: it's more
representative of the data flowing inside a pipeline.
Regards
JB

Dataflow is an open source, unified model and set of language-specific SDKs
for defining and executing data processing workflows, and also data
ingestion and integration flows, supporting Enterprise Integration Patterns
(EIPs) and Domain Specific Languages (DSLs). Dataflow pipelines simplify
the mechanics of large-scale batch and streaming data processing and can
run on a number of runtimes like Apache Flink, Apache Spark, and Google
Cloud Dataflow (a cloud service). Dataflow also brings DSL in different
languages, allowing users to easily implement their data integration
processes.
In general this seems like an excellent project and a well-thought-through and
viable proposal -- I certainly anticipate that it will be accepted for
incubation in one form or another.
However, how does this "Dataflow" project relate to the programming paradigm
of "dataflow programming"?

Besides the potential for confusion, it seems like the proposed project name
would be tough to defend as a trademark.
With respect to trademark rights, Google does not hold a trademark on the
phrase “Dataflow.” Based on feedback and guidance we receive during the
incubation process, we are open to renaming the project if necessary for
trademark or other concerns.
If a renaming is going to happen, there are advantages to renaming sooner
rather than later and sparing the community additional disruption.
