Our spec is officially titled "Design Tokens Format Module" and it recommends a file extension of .tokens or .tokens.json. But when you talk about these files with your colleagues and friends, what do you call them?

Names I've read / heard / used so far are:

• "Tokens files"
• "DTF files"
• "Design Tokens files"
• "DTCG files"

It would be interesting to hear what name(s) you've all been using.

I'm asking, because it would be useful if our community could align around a preferred way of referring to these files. That would be useful for:

• Tools that add support for this format
  • E.g. in their UI, they might need it for labelling things like "Export as ???? file", "Import from ???? file", etc.
  • In their documentation and marketing materials. "v99 adds support for reading & writing design tokens as ???? files", "How to import tokens from ??? files", etc.
• Referring to these files in talks, blog posts, conversations, etc. - especially if also mentioning or comparing with other design token file formats (e.g. StyleDictionary files, Theo files, etc.)

If a consensus emerges, we could document that in the spec itself (probably as a non-normative suggestion, but I think that could still be useful).

So, please share your names and let's discuss. Thanks! ❤️
