whahah
Icefish could work though, or something similar
Well here in UK, juvenile European eels are known variously as elvers and glass eels. The latter would be a link back to @GaelDuval 's original Eelo idea.

Has been Jellyfish OS inspired by a similar idea, too?

perhaps. Despite the fact that i like the animal theme, i still think āeOSā for āethical OSā would be the best choice, by the way
Arenāt these discussions just academic by now? I thought I read that a name had already been decided but not announced.
Iām on your side, @Vaughan. But a forum is made also for chatting, isnāt it ?
Just saying. If people want to try and undo a done deal itās no skin off my nose.
Before anyone else decides to comment with one of these things:
-
reasons the current name is bad
-
suggestion for a new name
-
asking for an eta on new name
please keep this in mind:
-
the team knows, /e/ is a placeholder
-
a new name HAS ALREADY BEEN REGISTERED, suggesting one now is a waste of your valuable time
-
the eta on the new name was the beginning of the year, but COVID messed with that

Maybe eSoulutions, that is the shop nameā¦ Covid will last at least another year. So the team will be hindering themselves with the useless name for even longer.
There is nothing you can do. ĀÆ\(ć)/ĀÆ
The later the project is renamed, the more complex the renaming becomes.

The latter of those two quotes was not 50 messages above my original one, but rather 3. Might I suggest reading the thread a little (or at the very least using CTRL + F) before wasting the time of others?

I am not suggesting a new name. I will wait until one is published!
But until then the project (or an important release) could at least use an unique codename. Like for example āLonghornā at Microsoft.
Am I totally wrong?
Guys, the name is already here:
/e/ OS or even eOSā¦you decideā¦
Ha, worse part of 2020 other then big stuff, the little thing of searching for /e/ [launcher,"instant messenger ",backup] app or review how to 
Iām a newb.
I have read your postā¦ I am not talking about any new name suggestions though I have one. But all you said is āa new name has already been registeredā, and what is it?
Do you mean they just use /e/OS and eOS instead of /e/?
Seriously, is this even a name change?

Yes, I think so;
at this point I donāt think a new name will come along as a replacement
heckā¦ well although itās painful, I must admit thatās true. There are too many stuffs linked to /e/, changing all the names takes lots of time and energyā¦
I have already brought up that point, but I donāt see a reason why it is impossible to rebrand a fully fleshed-out version of the ā/e/OSā once its launched. Plus, a brand separation of some sort would single the V1 out as an independent system that āstands on its own two feetā
I have to metion that I detest the idea of simply calling the software the ā/e/OSā, even though I used this name earlier in the post for lack of a universially accepted alternative. There is SO much potential in different ideas, which all have been proposed ealier in this thread! It would be a shame if this creativity and potential is wasted just because the foundation wasnāt quick enough to decide on an option. I repead myself at this point but I donāt believe that a rebranding or brand seperation (between the projekt and the stand-alone software) would do damage eapecially in the now infamous ā/e/ā theme is retained.
E.g. my very own proposals:
Last but not least: I am very disapointed, that despite multiple requests the official name has not yet been released. I do get it, that the non-relase might be due to marketing strategies, but I still would like to see that the managers react in some way to the now multiple request for answers by the community. I might add: If the name turns out to be something different than āeOSā, every day that passes, makes it harter to rebrand than it already is!
