MacOS names beyond Monterey?

[Zdigital2015]

MacOS Cheddar
MacOS Gouda
MacOS Cheeseburger (would probably upset the vegetarians)

macOS Wensleydale - makes it sound very posh…this is the name they’ll use when they drop Intel support.

 

[Aggedor]

I know this thread is humorous (in part!), but I wouldn't be surprised if they hit macOS Pismo Beach at some point. Pismo was the codename for the firewire PowerBook G3, after all.

MacOS Great Dismal Swamp... (yes, there is such a place, but it's East Coast).

But seriously Apple needs to stop focusing on the West Coast, so I suggest:

MacOS KittyHawk
MacOS Chesapeake
MacOS Shenandoah

 

[macOS Lynx]

macOS 13 Big Bear
macOS 14 Arrowhead (Which is in Big Bear Valley)

Fit's with the theme of names being related to each other, and we get another "Big" name!

 

[Euroamerican]

Did anyone say yet?

MacOS Big Tujunga

MacOS Questa Verde

from up near Santa Barbara

MacOS Sunnydale

Right? There is a whole big country out there outside of California. In the end it is just a name, as long as it works, well, that is all that matters.

It’s probably an unpopular opinion but I think that Apple should eventually drop any name and just call it macOS 12.0, 13.0, etc. It is the only Apple OS to have a name and it’s very confusing when we try to look to compatibility of an app, hardware limitations, etc. I remember generally the actual and past year software names, but after that it’s harder to tell in the good order. It would be more useful to drop the naming convention as we could tell only by the number how old the OS is.

Although that would make sense (Apple doesn't name iOS versions, only numbers), but I think it has become a tradition for each releases of macOS to have a name. And it allows Craig to make up fun stories on every WWDC.

One that they probably will do, which at some point they will dub "the last version of MacOS":

MacOS Zzyzx.

It's the last word in the dictionary, plus a stop on I-15 between Barstow and Las Vegas, where the Zzyzx Mineral Springs are located.
