> Or even Apple blog posts, [which aren't a big fan of the word "masonry"](https://webkit.org/blog/16026/css-masonry-syntax/#footnote-1), can't avoid using the word "masonry" in the title. Because that's what everybody calls this. > > So IMO we shouldn't do authors a disservice by choosing a word that nobody uses, and just choose "masonry". And with the requirement to include "grid", either `grid-masonry` or `masonry-grid`. I agree. It should be called masonry because that's what everyone already calls it. The Working Group has been discussing "masonry" for 5+ years now - not "staggered grids". I do not see a compelling reason to change the naming now. I prefer `masonry-grid` over the alternative. If the name _must_ be different from masonry to meet another requirement, I like `flex-grid` best. Masonry is a little bit flex, a little bit grid, and a little completely new. -- GitHub Notification of comment by JoshuaLindquist Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/12022#issuecomment-3368546562 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
