Other than a legal check for conflicts with trademarks etc,  that is
correct.  Any name can get through if someone proposes and enough people
vote for it.  Anyone with a Fedora account can vote and getting a
account takes only a few minutes.   You can't always get the name of
your choice but if you like a particular name or don't, you have the
ability to influence the result.  Use it.
