I think the real problem, offended people aside.
Is nobody uses the names to refer to a fedora release.
Witin @fpo lists its "f15,f16, etc..
Outside any Fedora related list it's Fedora N (where N is a number)

If names are voted to be kept, be pragmatic.
Release: Fedora 18 (as an example)
Release Name: Fedora "Eighteen"
Using Google translate:

Chinese Fedora 十八
Finnish: Fedora Vastanneista
Dutch: Fedora achttien
French: Fedora Dix-huit
German: Fedora achtzehn
Japanese: Fedora 18個

Hence there is a name to go with a release.
