“Kitted” as an adjective- as in “assembled or equipped with the necessary items or components”

45

Here more options:

  • Kino Kinixys: From german like a movie teather or an just a short form of kinosternon.
  • Keen Karumbe: Just sounds interesting.
  • Kortex Koopa: Sounds futuristic, but not sure due to Koopa being famous.

But some interesting ones already mentioned are:

  • Kawaii Karumbe: Mentione by Katherine_Scott
  • Kingly Kinixys: Mentioned by devinhenkel, it can maybe be a turtle with a crown.
  • Keystone Kino(sternon): Mentioned by Katherine_Scott, but it can maybe be shorter.
    :sweat_smile:

I’m surprised no one’s suggested “Knitted” yet.

Knitted Koopa is a thing that could actually exist.

Since I am from Paraguay, it will be so cool to have ROS Distro name in Guarani.
I think Karumbe is a great idea.

51

Kind Karumbe sounds good to me

52

Kinematic kleinmann seems fine considering other version words :slight_smile:

oh wow, I was confused when I saw someone mention my name, but yes there is a Kimberley Long-neck Turtle ( Chelodina walloyarrina - Wikipedia). You learn something new every day! Not sure how I feel about the distro being called that like that… calls like kim kimber perhaps but I can’t really but an adjective to that since that is a bit too meta for me.

If anyone see the appeal to the name, I hope won’t be with a negative adj :sweat_smile: Although I can live with Kooky Kimber :joy:

How about Kaleidic Kino. Kaleidic means colorful and Kino is also the german word for cinema.

Kilted Kinixys!

I also noticed that Dall-E apparently doesn’t know ROS style:

I opt for Kreativ Kachuga.

But whatever name will be chosen, you will always be able to draw a Turtle from the letter “K”.

And as a result you will have a KTurtle.

  1. “Kempt kemp”:
    kempt referring to clean and tidy maintained system of ROS and Kemp is a nod to Kemps riddley turtle which are a critically endangered species. Plus the name sounds like a good tongue twister :wink:

  2. “Kalidescopic kappa”:
    A name that reflects different interpretations of the same system through a kaleidoscope and kappa is the nod towards a humanoid turtle!

This post probably holds the record for engaging the most “first-time posters”. If only we knew it was that simple :smile:
