Any name needs to be reasonably compact: in papers, authors regularly refer to 
the precise version of Isabelle used. I wouldn't recommend any of the longer 
names suggested. Something like Isabelle2021A would work.

I'm actually pretty happy with the current scheme (eg. 2021-1).

If there is a serious issue within the same month, we can increase the number, 
and in practice it happens extremely rarely, so there is not much room for 
confusion. As long as the year remains accurate, the scheme is pretty 
straightforward.

I'd also be fine with Isabelle2021-Dec, although that is harder to order 
automatically. The current scheme is somewhat order compatible with the old 
(and confusing) Isabelle-94-6 scheme. None of these are very strong arguments.
