Three inventions from me and coworkers, though I know the names are taken.
- MooNix - What comes after the Sun? The Moon!
- SuperNova - What happens when Sun explodes.
- Neutron - A Sun collapses upon itself, becoming very dense.
Various variations can be added, with OS or whatever on the end.

Nova or nix sounds good perhaps a competition and vote is now a good idea?
A competition or vote for what? For what name you think should
be used by a hypothetical distro that doesn't exist? Or for a
name you want to try to push on the Illumos project against their
will?
most OpenSolaris users today have no idea what ON is
Indeed, I had to (google) search to find out what ON is - to understand
better what Illumos project is all about.

Actually, IllumOS is a good name... in the tradition of Solaris, the SUN that
illuminates our lives. ;)

Peter,
ot a good name I guess the name needs to be changed before intrenched views set
in.The project needs to be something more professional off the line.
How about BorealOS? After all, we have the opportunity to light up
the sky; albeit maybe not in a bloosky ;-)...

Doesn't this sound very similar to BerliOS?
About as much as Ubuntu sounds like a fictional African tribe ;-)

We live in an age where the success of a project seems to be proportional to
how disconnected the name appears to be from the product / service.

It seems that you all look for nice names, but forget that we are not living in
a vacuum. You need to find a name that is not yet in use and that has an
available domain.

in a way illumos interprets to SUN OS :)
not quite .. illumos actually sounds a bit more like the latin masculine
singular accusative case (direct object of a transitive verb) for that or those
.. ie: we developed THAT, or Oracle abandoned THAT
