I had a thought on this and I would like to ask _why name them at all_
because we already _number_ them?

Fedora Name+number or Fedora number+name sounds like having toast on
toast to me. People will use the number anyhow when discussing things
around Fedora. Such as "I'm still running Fedora 15" rather than "I'm
still running Fedora
fancy-name-where-no-one-remembers-what-release-it-was".
