When NEM was first launched the versions of NEM upon release just went by the version number, like for instance 0.6.21 was just that 0.6.21, but now that a hard fork has been announced, it would be better if each major version also had a name. Like Apple does with their OS, they name a number and a name, like 10.9 Mavericks, or 10.11 El Capitan and so on.
So what would be a good name for the version of NEM that lasted from 0.6.21 to 0.6.31, the original version of NEM?
And what would be a good name for 0.6.42 and on until the next hard fork?
One suggestion is
1. 0.6.21+ Washington
2. 0.6.42+ Adams
3. 0.6.xx Jefferson
but we won't be using names of any political leaders from any one country.
Another suggestions would be
1. 0.6.21+ red
2. 0.6.42+ orange
3. 0.6.xx yellow
Another could be whatever was the flavor of the month at Baskin Robbins
1. 0.6.21+ Snacknado
2. 0.6.42+ Oreo 'n Cake
3. 0.6.xx tba
Do you like colors or flavors? Can you suggest something that is interesting?
I'd suggest to only change name at minor version changes instead of revisions. I.e. change the name at the jump from 0.6.xx to 0.7.xx. Imho makes more sense and also reduces the need for new cool names.
Personally I like what Canonical is doing with Ubuntu i.e. going through the alphabet and using the letters for an attribute and an animal. E.g. Utopic Unicorn and Trusty Tahr.
Google is doing a similar thing for Android only they use the letters for sweet stuff. E.g. Ice Cream Sandwich, Jelly Bean, KitKat, Lollipop,...
Maybe we can do something along those lines ?
How about we go through the alphabet and use the letters to name made up super heros ? Like Anal Ant and Battling Baptist (obviously dumb examples but you get the gist
).
