But if you insist: pronouncing it in a similar way as "I fart cool"
should come close, I think. Better ask that someone from Iceland, though...
Well, yes, it does, because people are going to want to be able to talk about
it. Do you really think that "I fart cool" is an appropriate name for a Fedora
version? For that matter, was Beefy Miracle really that appropriate?
A release name is just a way to identify a set, and if Gingerbread and Ice Cream
Sandwich are okay, why not Beefy Miracle? Essentially none are "meaningful,"
simply unique identifiers used to facilitate identification. It is a lot less
likely to say the wrong version when they are unlike than to say an incorrect
Windows version.
If I can find a copy of my essay on naming units I'll post a link, Google can't
find it. IIRC the original title was "Disambiguation of unit names in scientific
nomenclature" and the proceedings replaced it with "What's in a Name?" and used
the original title as a subtitle in the article itself.
