As we already have the locations for the N and O summits I think we
should do the naming polls now and have names we can use for this
planning instead of letters. It's pretty minor but it doesn't seem like
there is any real reason to wait and have everyone come up with working
names that turn out to be confusing later.
That sounds fair. However the release naming process currently states[1]:
"""
The process to chose the name for a release begins once the location of
the design summit of the release to be named is announced and no sooner
than the opening of development of the previous release.
"""
...which if I read it correctly means we could pick N now, but not O. We
might want to change that (again) first.

Right, it seems like we should change it so that we can do naming as
soon as the location is announced.
For projects like Nova that are trying to plan things more than one
cycle out, having those names to hang those features on is massively
useful (as danpb also stated). Delaying for bureaucratic reasons just
seems silly. :)
So, for what it's worth, I remember discussing this when we discussed
the current process, and the change you are proposing was one of the
options put forward when we talked about it.
The reason for not doing all of them as soon as we know them was to keep
a sense of ownership by the people who are actually working on the
thing. Barcelona is a long way away and we'll all likely have rage quit
by then, leaving the electorate for the name largely disjoint from the
people working on the release.
Now, I hear you - and I'm not arguing that position. (In fact, I believe
my original thought was in line with what you said here) BUT - I mostly
want to point out that we have had this discussion, the discussion was
not too long ago, it covered this point, and I sort of feel like if we
have another discussion on naming process people might kill us with
pitchforks.
