Now that the features are in place, we compared features against other design systems components and names. Had a quick brief with the amplify team on what they felt was a natural name for this component aswell as quick brief with other developers internally.

The general consensus was that Combobox was confusing and unfamiliar. Autocomplete or AutoSelect was the name that came to most peoples mind when seeing this components.

Based on this we have decided that we will rename Combobox to Autocomplete
