Things to consider:

Must not be a haiku
The domain and GitHub ID should be available
Must not carry any problematic or inappropriate meanings in other languages

Regarding the suggestion to use Tabby, a PowerPC fork, under the new name, we would love to hear the Tabby developer's thoughts on this.

I would call it OS/B in reference to this plan B while also reminding BeOS

Christian

It's a good idea but we have a better one: Be without OS, only Be.

No one will be able to ask for its protection and the follow-up will be included by all those who will talk about it or use it.

MediaOS (dbeckman's idea)
Beryllium (who's chemical symbol is Be)
Playground OS
Ballad (clasquin's idea)
Pirati (Arr!!)
CenterStage
OS OnFire (or just Fire)
Poetry OS

Song OS

Christian

Shaka444 Amazon already has the Fire OS brand..

Beryllium is a better idea, you put it extended only in the About.
And then we need a bit of irony, it is rare in nature, it is harmful to health and has 4 as an atomic number, if Haiku has remained stationary we will do more, we will return to BeOS R4.

And if someone were to dispute your name, we in good faith will switch to B as Boron, having 5 as the atomic number.

Christian Hi Christian, Be would be great but may have trademark issues, I guess

Christian Beryllium, a toxic metal, as a new name? It may be ironic at first, but think about new users who would discover it without knowing the history behind this fork of Haiku...
Do you image naming an OS project Uranium or Plutonuim ?

I like it, and the domain is free too! 😃

Anonymous1 Uranium or Plutonuim

It’s a good idea, but there’s a chance it could be blocked by the AI’s safety mechanisms.

Well, with such name, the core of the OS will be called demon core. Please, never use a screwdriver while playing with...

Christian it is harmful to health and has 4 as an atomic number,

In East Asia, 4(사,四) is a negative number. It is pronounced like "death(사,死)". The old elevator doesn't have a 4th floor. In Korea, it also refers to an "Incel".

Saying "Hi Claude, I'd like to work on Uranium today!" might not be the best idea 😆

I do like adding "OS" to the end of the name. Someone (sorry, forgot who!) mentioned this before. It's needed to make the OS easy to search for. Searching for Haiku doesn't return results for pages related to the OS first.

Ok how about "HaikuOS" :-D

Kevin

Shaka444 only if you pay the legal bills 😆

rainygirl I should know that, I was born on the 4th 🙂

Bob “Be” it can't be protected in the USA, elsewhere only as a fancy name.

Me, me, me! 🙌

Considering where we are starting this from, I think our name should contain the letters "a" and "i"

Gemini, suggest five names for an operating system that is intelligible and not obscene in major languages. It must end with "OS" and contain the letter pair "ai". Maximum length 12 letters.

Here are five operating system names that meet all your criteria: max 12 letters, end in "OS", contain the letter pair "ai", and carry clear, positive meanings in major global languages without obscene connotations.

AiraOS (6 letters)Etymology/Meaning: Derived from "Aira" (Hindi/Sanskrit for "earth" or "refreshing breath") and "Aria" (Italian for "air" or "melody").
KairosOS (8 letters)Etymology/Meaning: From Ancient Greek Kairos ($\kappa\alpha\iota\rho\acute{o}\varsigma$), meaning "the opportune or perfect moment." Clean and neutral across European and Asian languages.
BraidOS (7 letters)Etymology/Meaning: From English "braid," evoking interconnected threads, networking, or interwoven systems.
MiraiOS (7 letters)Etymology/Meaning: From Japanese Mirai (未来), meaning "future." Widely recognized globally as a forward-looking, high-tech naming convention.
KalaOS (6 letters)Etymology/Meaning: Contains "ai" and stems from Hawaiian Kala ("sun" or "freedom/light") and Estonian/Finnish roots ("fish"). Safe, short, and universally easy to pronounce.
