In my personal opinion is the best of the list.
It works also in combination with other names:

Salamandra Tumbleweed
Salamandra Leap
Salamandra MicroOs

etc

easy to remember and to write as well and more or less international.

Personally I am hoping for an name with just two syllables.

#=#=
Where # is a consonant and = a vowel.

SUSE passes that filter.

As mentioned in the Project Rebrand thread, I like the idea of

Tumbleweed —> Leap Rolling
Leap Slowroll
etc

That would be too long to say that people will use acronyms like LRT for Leap Rolling Tumbleweed

VengfulGoshawk? They’re known for eating chameleons… but it’s a mouthful

FeralOS? I do like the idea of running Feral Tumbleweed

On other platforms that would change “Which openSUSE are you …?” to “Which Leap are you …?”, so confusion stays. That said, it’s 4 chars less, which is a small benefit :wink:

And some “name recognition”, which has some value.

I would say Opensuse Workstation for Leap or Pro for name or something more “Professional” .

SUSE’s polite request implies not using such a name - they want clear separation with their enterprise products (hence the need to change away from openSUSE).

Yes, I see what you mean upon reflection.

Given the chameleon’s distinctive color-changing abilities and its strong, recognizable logo, a fitting overarching project name could be Prism. This name effectively captures the essence of adaptability and transformation. The overseeing body could be named Prism Foundation or Prism Hub, to embody all that would be done under this umbrella. Just ideas.

@afoh Yes that was suggested by myself in the Project Rebrand thread, but others made valid criticisms about the idea which you may read there.
