As a runner, DNF already has a specific meaning for me.
If you're picking random letters for a project to avoid
existing collisions, you might also consider tossing the
set back into the bag they have a well-established meaning
in other domains. Just saying - it might do well to change
the name to something with positive or at least neutral
collateral meaning. "yum" probably had some positive benefits
in this regard.
"Yum" has sentimental value and is practically a trademark, so
1. yuma - Yellowdog Updater, Modified Again
2. yum2 - Yellowdog Updater, Modified II
3. yumrelo - Yellowdog Updater, Modified Reloaded
6. yum-ng - Yellowdog Updater, Modified NG (Next Generation)
5. yum-ak - Yellowdog Updater, Modified AK (Ales Kozumplik)
4. yum-novus - Yellowdog Updater, Modified New
7. yummy - Yellowdog Updater, Modified My
How about:
fu - Fedora Updater.
fum - Fedora Updater, Modified.
fu has a positive connotation: "fu, a particle or suffix that can mean
"intensity" [1].
Or, we can just forget about any connotation, like apparently we did
when coming up with "fedup".
LOL - Is this supposed to be a play on words / accronyms?
Haha, actually pretty cool!
0. yum-fu - Yellowdog Updater, Modified Fu (No need to explain)

Or to be more generic about it:
pu - Package Updater.
pum - Package Updater, Modified.
puma - Package Updater, Modified Again.
poma - Package Opener (Operator?), Modified Again
That last one is tounge-in-cheek :-J
puma ! Similar to orig name (continuity), "p" for package
(better than yellow-dog), and humorous extension "a" that
turns it into a word with logo possibilities.
And shouldn't have brand overlap with the shoes (they're
going with the animal association anyway).
You could get some some traction with that name.
