More seriously, I think it does not matter if people understand it or not. Personally I
don't know what a Warty
Warthog is, but if it raises curiosity in me and makes me dig it, then I'll learn
something and everybody wins :)
For me the cocktail thing is a good scheme because it has a story behind it.

I think is a good idea to have code names for the
releases, but I'm
not so
sure about "cocktail names".
+1
I'm also not sure if cocktail names are very catchy, may be we should
go for
a scheme that is commonly understood everywhere in the world (i
personally
don't know what different cocktails are out there). May be planets,
elements
of periodic table, different gems, etc. etc.

The only other naming convention we have is skin names:

Also not so sure that should be decided just by the release manager
(there
is quite a small list of people that do
releases)
Thanks,
Caty
