Why not use something which is understandable by the person in the 
street like, for example, Nightly (which Mozilla uses as you know), WIP 
(Work In Progress), Experimental, Pre-Release, Final and similar names.

You could use such common names and then only have to alter the contents 
of a simple redirection file to take the user (ie, zypper, Yast) to the 
repository where 'you' can have all the weirdo names which your heart 
desires (such as Playground, Sandpit, Factory, Workshop, Laboratory, 
Unstable, Stable, whatever).
