I personally like the sound of "Datum" as a name. I also like the idea of not assigning them a gender.
As a counterpoint on the naming side, one of the slide decks provided while iterating on the design mentions: > Mascot can change colors when it is “full of data” or has a “batch of data” to process. Yellow is supercharged and ready to process! Based on that, I'd argue that the mascot maps to the concept of a bundle in the beam execution model and we should consider a name that's a play on "bundle" or perhaps a play on "checkpoint".
