Personally, I voted for Chupacabra, but would have chosen Dragicorn if given
the chance to select 2.

Other than that, I agree entirely with the name selection.

I agree with Padula, half of these names are diseases or monters, man, 
this codename should be something cool, not a monster. What is this? 
Fedora Monster, Fedora Disease?

I think we need to review this list.

Cheers,

Mayonnaise +1.  May I also suggest, dijon, spicy, and scalloped.

There was a open call in fedora-devel list and
all of the names were 
suggested from people in the community and need to pass through legal 
review which has already been done. The names won't be changed now.

So sugestions are made on fedora-devel... Good to know this. :-) We
need to make more and better sugestions, because if that list contains
only the better names among all those suggested, I don't want to
imagine the names that were not been approved...

I heard that the fisrt Fedora codenames were all alchool-related. Zod
is a fiction character. Moonshine is a home-distilled alchool made
specially in places where this production is illegal. Werewolf is a
legendary monster.

We really want to associate Fedora with alchool? Fedora is not made by
drunks, I'm sure. Developers may drink, but they don't produce any
code or work under effect of alchool, I'm sure (and, if yes, I think
is better if Fedora users don't know that). And what about monsters?
Has someone here ever seen a werewolf, a chupacabra, or Zod? Fedora is
real, and its codename need to be something undoubtedly real.

Finally, I can't figure out how 3 diseases names could be accepted as
options. What type of marketing could we do with names like those,
"Fedora 9: Sick, like you"?

Why I'm saying this? Because we have a list with codenames that vary
from bad to worst and we are responsible for this because we don't
suggested better codenames. We need to participate this process before
we start do have Fedora Dracula, Malt or Ebola...

By now, let's choose a codename that is not so bad.

No, these are just the names that cleared Legal.  Many many more were
suggested, and many of them were quite cool.  Unfortunately cool names
have a tendency of being used for other products, which lands us in
Legal trouble should we use them for Fedora.

Codename must be related to previous codenames, but this codenames are
ugly.

I must confess that the disease names (Marfan, Asperger, Tourette) Or 
the beast names (Dragicorn, Chupacabra, Woodwoose, Barmanou), are rather 
out of place... Especially the disease one... If you take into account 
what each of these syndromes affects, what's the message?. Since 
Werewolf, seems like mythic fauna has been set as a theme, of these new 
names I like Dragicorn the best, as the others have rather... odd 
associations (do we really want to link Fedora to a 'Sasquatch' or 
'hominid' ape? Not to mention to the bloodsucking 'Chupacabra'?).  The 
heroic character Chingachgook could be good name, but are we the last of 
our kind? Wouldn't 'Kingsport Town' infringe on copyrights due to the 
Song of the same name (by Bob Dylan for the curious)? And what's the 
reasoning behind the Mayonnaise name, anyway? I don't see Fedora being a 
'condiment' of any sort.

For what it's worth, a friend of mine who attended my university's
School of Engineering told me a great story about a professor who
started the first day of class with the thunderous and stentorian
proclamation: "There is NO engineering problem which cannot be solved
with the right amount of mayonnaise."

Kingsport Town is a traditional song, unless Dylan's arrangement is
used as Fedora theme music I don't think you would infringe his
copyright at least. Although I'm sympathetic with your general points
here.
