I suggest that names of extinct or endangered animals should be reserved for software that we think we are unlikely to support long in to the future so that would put batagur out. Bog is a colloquialism for toilet in England - so perhaps lets avoid that one.
So as ROS is clearly the future of robotics I’d go +1 for Bionic Bottlenose and further propose
bountiful brer
Who couldn’t love brer turtle
Breezy Batagur - breezy
What does breezy mean?
pleasantly windy.
appearing relaxed, informal, and cheerily brisk.
Thus a Breezy Batagur is pleasant, relaxed, and cheerily brisk!

While I like Bionic, I don’t think it is a good idea to use it for ROS2 since the next Ubuntu release is going to be Bionic. I think that will lead to a lot of confusion about whether someone is talking about the ROS2 release or the Ubuntu release.

Bowser (クッパ, Kuppa, "Koopa"), or King Koopa, is a fictional character and the main antagonist of Nintendo's Mario franchise. In Japan, the character bears the title of Daimaō (大魔王, Great Demon King). In the U.S., the character was first referred to as "Bowser, King of the Koopas" and "The sorcerer king" in the instruction manual. Bowser is the leader of the turtle-like Koopa race, and has been the archenemy of Mario since his first appearance, in the 1985 video game Super Mario Bros.

I was all-in on bionic bottlenose until clalancette pointed out the Ubuntu name.
I like the meaning behind biomimetic (bottlenose || batagur), might be a mouthfull though.
Hi community,

I am not sure about any of the nouns. But regarding the adjective, how can this not be “brilliant”?
ROS Brilliant is cool, right?
+1 for breezy - I really like the connotation. Breezy Bowser, though…
A little letter rhymes with Bowser: Bouncy Bowser, Browsing Bowser.
“Breezy” has the same problem as “bionic”: it’s the name of an Ubuntu version, so it’ll mess up your Google results.
Breezy Badger was the first Ubuntu version I’ve been running. And I’m sure ROS2 won’t support it.
OK how about:
Boisterous bottlenose
or
Bodacious bottlenose
Would it infringe any copyrights if we call it
Baby Browser
Thank you for all the ideas so far
To summarize the current proposals (removing / collapsing duplicates):
Bashful Batagur
B-Boy Turtle
Bertie Turtle
Bulldozer Turtle
Bountiful Brer
Bebop Bulldozer
Baby|Bouncy|Browsing Bowser
Brilliant …
I think we will like not considered any of the following ones (for the mentioned reason):
Bionic
collides with Ubuntu Bionic Beaver
Breezy
collides with Ubuntu Breezy Badger
Blue Box
similar to ROS Box Turtle
Bog Turtle
similar to ROS Box Turtle
Biomimetic
complexity of spelling considering international community
Bodacious | Boisterous
complexity of spelling considering international community
Big
If anyone has more ideas please post them soonish. We plan to decide on the name within a week. Thanks!

I looked up pairs of b turtles names and code names that formed an alliteration and a sudo rhyme.
Here are some more ideas:
Ba tagur
Bur ner Ba tagur
Ba rnbur ner Ba tagur - Ha…
B ruņurupucis (Latvian for Turtle)
Couldn’t think of anything, not sure how to pronounce.
Bre shkë (Albanian for Turtle)
Bre ak point Bre shk e - I like this, sounds a little meta
Bre azy Bre shke
Bre ak away Bre shk e
Bre wing Bre shke - fermenting ROS2?
B ouliachely s
B urly B ouliachely s - I like burly as a code name
B rotherly B ouliachely s
What about “Ballistic Batagur”

Brave Bolson (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolson_tortoise )
or
Brave Batagur (Since Batagur is at the edge of extinction, we can encourage it by calling it “Brave”)

To complete my suggestion, I’d like add a noun:
Brilliant Batagur
Thank you for sharing the great ideas. From all the suggestions and possible combinations we picked…
Bouncy Bolson
The master
build of ROS 2 will identify itself with ROS_DISTRO=bouncy
(see PR ).
