Intrepid just doesn't feel right....

[Afkpuz]

I've only been using ubuntu since dapper drake, but when I hear "intrepid", it just doesn't feel right. I've gotten so used to the names that end with "y"

Intrepid...

I dunno, I might be crazy, but it just sounds weird to hear people saying "Oh, I can't wait for intrepid!" I feel like there needs to be a noun and explanation after it, like "Oh, I can't wait for intrepid explorers to reach the center of the earth!"

thoughts?

It sounded strange at first but I'm used to it now.

Intrepid

[maniacmusician]

the OP is talking about the phonetics of the previous codenames. And I have to agree, I much preferred the -y suffix to the adjective part of the codename. I wonder if there weren't any good choices on the wiki that ended in -y. [goes to check]

edit: that was probably the reason...the choices were pretty horrendous for I. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DevelopmentCodeNames

Also, I believe the rest of them had two syllables, whereas Interpid is 3 syllables.

Intrepidy. Done.

Let's just call it Ibex for short instead.

Breaking tradition, but it sounds much cooler than Intrepid.

[vishzilla]

Ibex does sound better

[Afkpuz]

Yea, I probably will start referring to it as ibex. maybe we can sway the populous into it also. I also have to acknowledge that there aren't many good adjectives that start with i

[schauerlich]

Incendiary sounds much better.

Intrepid

isn't it Feisty? :D

[karellen]

Intrepid it's not the official name. Ubuntu 8.10 is

Dapper Drake doesn't have a y so that means that after this release they should go back to a y name for 3 or 4 releases:)

Dappy Draky?

[hugmenot]

Seems like primary adjectival use doesn't hinder using it as a stand-alone name at all:

Maybe the release after Intrepid will be something like Jiggly Jellyfish or Jolly Jackal.
