Then again I bet nobody can find something phonetically offensive with 
it. :-)

I see topics like this as a way to build new relationships (or foster existing ones) with all of you who may be thinking about participating in the next release cycle. It's not ultra-important, but maybe it gives someone a small sense of personal attachment or involvement in what we are all working together to achieve.

I can't personally remember ever using the release name. the customers don't care and internally it's more clear to ask "Did you upgrade your development environment from 7.1.1 to 7.1.2 already" than using release names. But if release names are used, I prefer terms that have a natural order that are clear without googling (i.e insect development vs cyclopes)
