Recent Trademark Filings Hint at Possible Names for macOS 10.14 - Mojave, Sequoia, Ventura or Sonoma

Ventura and Sonoma are counties too. I'm from the midwest and I know that. That's the sad thing now that blogs are considered journalism.
 
progression of the names:
mojave for 2018 (looking more and more like it will be a boring release. a desert of a release)
ventura for 2019 (new revolutionary features. exciting place to be)
sonoma for 2020 (matured)
 
Please don't be Mojave. I heard way too many mispronunciations of Yosemite to think that would go down any differently.
 
macOS Infinite Loop
macOS Cupertino
macOS Apple Park

Out of the ones mentioned I prefer macOS Mojave, macOS Ventura, macOS Sequoia, macOS Sonoma in that order.

If it's macOS Sonoma, there's this great picture of a grassy hill in Sonoma County that they could use as the default wallpaper for it :)

No such thing as the "Sierra Mountains." They are called the Sierra Nevadas.

I mean, if we want to be technical, the names of the last two OS's were "Mountains" and "High Mountains", and I'm pretty sure most people would agree that California has some reasonably high mountains.

Also, I think there's real weight behind the theory that the whole thing was done entirely so Craig Federighi could make that "high" joke in last year's WWDC.

Not understanding all this love for Ventura. I live near Ventura, and my first reaction was please, anywhere but there! I vote Mojave.

I guess but "Sierra Mountains" translates into the nonsense "Mountains Mountains." They are the Nevada Mountains in English, so their proper name in Spanish is Sierra Nevadas. And that's what we call 'em in these parts!

It will have to be "Ventura" as there is no love for "Oxnard".

Yeah last time this came up I suggested MacOXnard. For some reason Apple wasn't going for that one.

I immediately thought of this campaign, myself. And today's Apple is just clueless enough to pick this name.

I have to confess I did a CTRL+F search for Mojave straight away as I thought someone else would.
The second line got a big laugh from me though - they cannot be that naive they are going to walk into any association with Vista.

What is funny is I was thinking about the Mojave experiment a few hours ago (not sure why - just a coincidence) and how it was now damaged goods so Apple couldn't use it. But yeah - you are right - these days anything goes.

Ventura sounds the best in my opinion.

Except it's mostly just a boring little town. Mojave though, now that is something grand. Better screensavers for sure ;)
[doublepost=1527282427][/doublepost]... how about macOs Vandenberg or better yet macOs Tri-Tip... no? how about macOs Tenderloin or just macOs with an emoji like ;)

I'm actually surprised they haven't gone with macOs Cupertino yet.

I kind of miss naming OSX releases after "big cats" (like the way Atari did), but these real locations do have a nice touch as well!

After Cheetah, Puma, Jaguar, Panther, Tiger, Leopard, Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion was the full series.

They were cheating a bit though because Puma, Mountain Lion and Panther are different name for the same species.
