Name the Fedora IoT Edition

We need your help naming the Fedora IoT Edition. Submit your nominations below. Note that this is a "brand" name, not a per-release name.

Name suggestions

Put your name suggestions below. Please don't submit anything we can't accept (trademarks, names of living people, obviously offensive terms, etc). If it has a connection to a term understood by the IoT or edge device communities, please include an explanation.

Suggested Name Suggested by Explanation
Crown alfalco In reference to the crown of a fedora hat.
CharIoTeer bcotton It has "IoT" in it (this is not a real suggestion, just an example)
Edgy McEdgeface pbrobinson Because it's the law!
Edge tdawson The boring, but logical name
SilverBlueServer tdawson Because it's the SilverBlue tech, for servers
IogurT lruzicka Because everyone likes it and it has IoT in it, if you change spelling a bit, thus everybody gets it.
IoT Edge lorbus Catch all, boring but logical
Orbit lorbus On the edge of the known galaxy. Would also play nice with possible alignment with CoreOS in a future not so far far away...
Tiny yaneti Because the goals align. Think OpenWRT but Fedora (where possible)
Nookless darkaxl017 nothing offline (Fedora Nookless rocks! ...I think :) )
