Linux Mint Forums

Hi. Is the codename for Mint 15 known yet? If not, I have a suggestion - Nicole.

You mean Mint 14. If 12 is Lisa, 13 (the upcoming one) is something beginning with M, 14 would be the N one.

Mint 13 will be Maya. Mint 14 will indeed start with N - that way the O is for Mint 15.

Mint 13's name has only just been announced. Please be patient.

The LM 13 naming thread is now locked, but (after doing a search here and in Community) there isn't one started for 14, so before time runs short...

What should LM 14 be called?

- a female name with a first letter of "N", ending in "a"
- tradition frequently has Greek names picked

My recommendation is to use: Nyssa

This is a fairly common, beautiful sounding, short Greek name meaning "truth", which I feel is very appropriate for Linux Mint.

List:

Nadia
Naima
Natalia
Natascha
Nayna
Nicola
Nina
Nora
Norma
Nya
Nyssa

When should a poll be started?

I think the poll should be started when there is a good bunch of suggestions here to pick from? Seems there is a little less choice with letter N also. No suggestion from my end yet...

I suggest Nayna.

Wait until we get to letter Q

Nicola

I was thinking more of a cut-off date from a production point of view.

Well, if you can hack up a basic list of common, qualifying, names, and will extend the poll with new names as they are submitted in the comments, I'd think "why not start a poll now?" Alternatively, collect suggestions in this topic and somewhere around perhaps June/July start a poll. The name for Linux Mint 13 became known roughly 2 months ahead of release date. The poll was started roughly 5 months ahead of release date. Going by the same logic, start the poll in June/July 2012. No guarantees about whether that is in time, or if it will swing the name one way or another; though Maya was the most voted name for Linux Mint 13, Clem shared he chose the name a long time ago, after his daughter's name

Nina is my favorite, but some others are Natalia and Nya.

Starting a poll early will unfairly affect voting.

The end of June sounds appropriate, then.
Thanks!

OK, so as long as patriarchal control doesn't overrule this one... we're off to a great start.

Nadia

+1 for Nadia , sound so sexy

*content removed*

Remember, names should end in "a" To give it that extra difficulty factor...

You're absolutely right! I forgot that was part of the naming convention. I officially withdraw my request for Nicole. And feel dumb.

Nadia, Naia, Naila, Naina, Naira, Nala, Nana, Nanda, Nanna, Naoma, Nara, Narella, Nasia, Natasha, Natalia, Nataniella, Nataya, Natica, Nayana, Naysa, Nea, Neala, Necia, Neda, Nedra, Neena, Nella, Neoma, Neria, Nerita, Nessa, Neta, Netta, Nevina, Nia, Nichola, Nicola, Niesha, Nikita, Nilla, Nina, Niina, Nira, Nirvana, Nisha, Nita, Nitza, Noella, Nola, Nolcha, Nona, Nora, Noora, Nordica, Norina, Norma, Nova, Noya, Nuala, Nubia, Nura, Nusa, Nyara, Nysa

My choise: Nedra

Whoa, way too early.

Anyway, it should begin with an N and end with an A. My suggestion would be "Nadia".

Why not pick one, Lumikki?
