ROS 2 I Name Brainstorming

The release date for ROS 2 Humble Hawksbill is now less than a month away. As we traditionally announce the name of the following distribution when a new distribution is released, it’s time to begin brainstorming (namestorming?) the name for the ROS 2 I-Turtle release.

Here are the existing ROS 2 names and code names.

  • Ardent Apalone - ardent
  • Bouncy Bolson - bouncy
  • Crystal Clemmys - crystal
  • Dashing Diademata - dashing
  • Eloquent Elusor - eloquent
  • Foxy Fitzroy - foxy
  • Galactic Geochelone - galactic
  • Humble Hawksbill - humble

And here are the ROS 1 names and code names.

  • Boxturtle - boxturtle
  • C Turtle - cturtle
  • Diamondback - diamondback
  • Electric Emys - electric
  • Fuerte - fuerte
  • Groovy Galapagos - groovy
  • Hydro Medusa - hydro
  • Indigo Igloo - indigo
  • Jade Turtle - jade
  • Kinetic Kame - kinetic
  • Lunar Loggerhead - lunar
  • Melodic Morenia - melodic
  • Noetic Ninjemys - noetic

To get your namestorming going, here are some useful lists.

For reference, here is the namestorming thread for ROS 1 Indigo Igloo.

Please share your suggestions and comments. There are no rules to this process so be creative!

Ignited/Ionic/Iron Iserosaurus

  • irreverent
  • isotropic
    as all turtles

Here are some good criteria that I think make a good adjective/codename:

  • easy to type and spell (considering this will show up in apt package names, in folders, git branch names, etc.): rules out “igneous”, “immovable”
  • easy to say
  • not easily confused with another technology, group, or application: rules out “industrial” (not to be confused with ROS-Industrial), “intersystem”, “intergalactic” (not to be confused with “galactic”)
  • positive: rules out “idle”, “invalid”, etc. :wink:

So my votes are:

  • iron
  • ionic
  • iconic
  • icy (my favorite)
