Laconic Leaf

(Asian leaf turtle - Wikipedia)

Ooh lots of good options here! Although I feel like there are a few that are too long / hard to spell for non-English speakers / have undesirable connotations / could be misinterpreted as genuine adjectives.

My top 5 picks would be:
Leafy Leprosa
Lofty Leatherback
Loyal Leatherback
Lively Leatherback
Lyrical Leatherback

I like the adjective Lithic as it makes me think of something long lasting, which ties up well with an LTS version

You mean Lufy the special needs rescue dog, not the anime character right?

Taking in consideration the rise of LLM, VLM and VLAs, I’d say Lexical or Lucid. Legion could be a good reference to swarm robotics. Linear should be funny because nothing is linear in robotics.

As for turtle, Leatherback or Leonardo (Ninja Turtles), which itself is a reference to Da Vinci. Considering some of his inventions, that could be fun.

I came up with three name ideas below.

Linggui : “Linggui” (灵龟, Língguī) is a Chinese (Mandarin) term meaning “spiritual turtle” or “mystical turtle.” “灵” (líng) signifies “spiritual” or “mysterious,” and “龟” (guī) directly refers to a turtle.

Lufu : “Lufu” is a Lingala word (spoken in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Republic of Congo) meaning “turtle,” particularly referring to terrestrial or freshwater turtles.

Lukwata: “Lukwata” is a term from Swahili and Luganda (used in East Africa, particularly Uganda), referring to a turtle or a mythical water-dwelling creature resembling a turtle or crocodile in folklore.

ROS 2 L Version Name Ideas

  • Lively Leopard
    Meaning “an active leopard” — it conveys a sense of speed and evolution!

  • Lucky Lantern
    “A lucky lantern” — with the hope that this version will illuminate new paths.

  • Luminous Lagoon
    “A shining lagoon” — symbolizing the expansion of technology and a bright future.
