The suggestion for the name included this thematic material:

    Robert Goddard was a professor of physics, and so is Robert
    Laughlin.  He was awarded the 1998 Nobel Prize in physics for his
    explanation of the fractional quantum Hall effect. Moreover he
    argues for emergence which is a concept that says "The whole is
    more than the sum of its parts". Fedora is more than the sum of
    its software.  . . .

    [Theme suggestion:] Something that can illustrate the emergence
    concept, like multiple objects combined to create a new one (more
    complex).

Perhaps this could spark some interesting ideas!
