I heard the discussion about names for the merge and using stars. I like the idea but I am wondering on a larger scale if you used Galaxy names for major upgrades like the merge and then subsequent stars within that galaxy for the minor updates. This would be similar to common software version naming using major and minor numbers. The next major update could choose a different galaxy and then a whole new subset of stars and maybe even planets.

This could also be a way to pick new major names, not necessarily using space, but using an Oceans for example. Then the countries and then cities would be used for minor revs that border the oceans. There are many other major/minor naming conventions that could be used and this way make it easier for the public to understand the difference between major and minor Ethereum updates.

Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, Southern Ocean, Mediterranean Sea, Arctic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, Bering Sea.
