I'll remind everybody of the "rules": female name, starting with "N", ending in "a". Don't forget that last bit :D

They're forgetting that every year... Anyway, many names can be translated to another language to end in "a".

My suggestion is Nala, character of the Lion King,see here

I also want to suggest some names of women scientists:


Nettie (Stevens) a woman genetist who was one of the first scientists to described the chromosomal basis of the sex. see here

Nina (Byers) a woman theoritical psysicist with many discriminations. see here


And last but not least the name "Nessie" which I believe is going to be the LM's 14 name. Everybody knows Nessie, the Loch Ness Monster! For more see here.

If I had to choose one name, I would choose the name Nessie or Nettie. They're both different as Linux Mint is.

Names must end with "a", so I don't think Nessie would be selected...

Clem has announced "Nadia" to be the name for the Linux Mint 14 release. Congrats to those of you that picked the winning name :wink:

In Kim Stanley Robinson’s Mars Trilogy, Nadezhda “Nadia” Chernyshevski is Maya’s best friend.

Nadia is pronounced NAH-d’-yah. It is the English form of Nadya, which itself is the pet form of Nadezhda and is Russian for “hope”. It’s also a variant of Nadiyya which, in Arabic, means “moist, tender, delicate”.

Linux Mint 14 “Nadia” will feature the following editions:
  • Cinnamon
  • MATE
  • KDE
  • Xfce
