a solution (?) is to write it in Latin :-)
for example oak:

Funny. I was thinking of that. Latin names to restore the old scientific tradition of Botanical.
Just looking reference for something strong, stable, continuous growing, ....
Then I found these:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acer_sempervirens
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequoia_sempervirens
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quercus_virginiana
And suddenly made me think of anything like Evermore, Forevermore...
That's the spirit of stable, continuous improvement and development (definitely not shaky).
Said so, "openSUSE Evermore" for 42.
And we cover all the trees and plants:
"openSUSE Evermore" (strong,stable, generic and adaptable, ever known) like Sequoia. And this could be a good one "openSUSE Sequoia". I like this one because on some alphabets "S" letter comes before "T" for Tumbleweed. And You could start Stable Sequoia and move later to disperse the openSUSE seeds with Tumbleweed.
openSUSE Tumbleweed (tumbled about by the wind, thereby dispersing its seeds)
openSUSE Evergreen (that retains green leaves throughout the year or years or any pre-settled time)

As we come up with names, I think it is also beneficial to think of the length of the name. openSUSE is already a two-word composition and when it comes to marketing, it is pretty tough dealing with so many words. openSUSE + Word + Number + etc can be hard when trying to develop marketing materials. I vote for using one word for the next name. One word is easy to use, shows strong personality and is easy to remember. Are we close to putting all possibilities on the table and start a vote?
