ROS M Turtle Naming Brainstorming

General
1

With the ROS Lunar Loggerhead release approaching, it’s time to start brainstorming the full name for M Turtle.

As past names have shown, there are no rules to this process.

Please provide suggestions and comments.

Past names and codenames:
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

Here’s a website listing some turtle species starting with M: http://www.chelonia.org/byspecies.htm#M

But be creative!

I like Maverick, but it was already used by Canonical for Ubuntu 10.10. I think it would make searching more difficult.

Magnetic Mydas or Mystic Mydas if we want an alliteration :slight_smile:

I was thinking of Motor Musk. “Motor” because it would allow for cool logo creations and name (ROS Motor!) and “Musk” because of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sternotherus_odoratus

An even better replacement for “Motor” would be “Mecha”!
So, ROS Mecha Musk.

+1 for Mystic Mydas. I’m sure ROS feels pretty mystic to a lot of newcomers!

+1 for Mecha!
I like how Mecha Morenia rolls off the tongue,
with the matching M’s and A’s forming an alliteration and a rhyme.
Maybe I’d also just like to see more artwork of Mecha turtles.
