I'd recommend changing names, nitro is already a semi-popular server engine for node.js https://nitro.build/

Any well-known generic word is very likely to already have been used by a bunch of projects, some of them already prominent. By now, the best project name is a pronounceable but unique string, for ease of search engine use. Ironically, "systemd" is a good name in this regard, as are "runit" or even "s6".

I use tiny init systems regularly in AWS Nitro Enclaves. Having the enclave and init system both named nitro is not ideal.

Dinit, runit, tini -- all avoid the name clash :)
