Release name for 0.18

[SamsungGalaxyPlayer]

Discussion: https://forum.monero.space/d/151-what-to-name-the-next-monero-release-018

Based on Monero's release naming convention, Monero's next release name will be:

Fluorine + Celestial Object

"Alliteration or assonance is also required, for maximum awesomeness."

What should Monero's 0.18 release be named? Fluorine what?

Possible choices include (some of which stretch the definition of Celestial Object):

• Fluorine Fornax
• Fluorine Fath
• Fluorine Firewheel
• Fluorine Firmament
• Fluorine Furnace

...or anything else you come up with!

I'll run a ranked choice poll later as I have done the last few releases following initial feedback.

Fluorine Fornjot

As I suggested before: Fluorine Flamingo

Or its Latin name Phoenicopterus. Fluorine Phoenicopterus would be a pain to write out frequently tho.

For context, I suggested "Flourine Firewheel" for two reason:

1. It sounds epic.
2. "Firewheel Galaxy" seems to be a less common name for the Pinwheel Galaxy, also known as Messier 101 which is a very nice looking galaxy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinwheel_Galaxy

I'm not actually sure if "Firewheel Galaxy" is an alternative english name, or a literal translation of the german name for Messier 101.

I think Firmament and Fornax sound nice as well

Really? It doesn't even satisfy the assonance condition.

Really? It doesn't even satisfy the assonance condition.

That's a good point, I didn't think about that. It's not strictly compliant.

@hyc @fluffypony it's "Alliteration OR assonance" :)

Firewheel will be next
