One thing to keep in mind with naming conventions based on materials like wood / crystal / diamond etc, is that people would tend to think of these names as a progression from good to best. Since Fedora has a very fast release cycle, once we ended up at something like platinum, where would we go next? Into the heavy elements?
What about this:
We come up with some sort of voting system to identify the person whom contributed the most forward thinking ideas, most useful code contribution, or did something spectacular for the upcoming release. The, we name the release after that persons hometown. This keeps the community involved in voting for the name, as well as the community being able to identify and cheer for the person that had the most impact during that release.

Well i still believe that it is the logo ("fedora" + infinite-f) that is blue.
A fedora build (or version) might well have a specific coulour or "flavour" associated to it.
Let's agree the colour choice may be controversial, but I hope you
underestand my idea. it is a more abstract theme choice than all I could read.
Another theme idea is for instance a "material", like
wood / crystal / diamond / gold
An abstract theme permits a closer relation between the theme and the version
A specific choice may be more exciting on the short term, but the relation between
the theme and the fedora version is sort of "imposed" and does not leave as much place to imagination...

But Fedora's colour is Blue (and don't ask me for the specific blue,
it's in the wiki) so it would be against our brand and trademark
guidelines and hence could be considered controversial :-)
