Next MacOS name...(Let's have some fun for the next month...)

[JeffyTheQuik]

OK, OK, for the detractors, I know it will be 10.13.

In the great tradition of California areas (Mavericks, Yosemite, Sierra... OK that isn't really the same tradition that the cats had, but we're now almost 4 in...)

So, let the naming begin (The first are a list from http://www.seecalifornia.com/visit/places-in-california-you-cant-pronounce.html)

• Tuolumne
• Ahwahnee
• Lompoc
• Los Gatos
• San Joaquin
• Siskiyou
• Suisun City
• Tulelake
• Port Hueneme
• Cudahy
• Ripon
• Cuyamaca
• Jacumba
• Otay Mesa
• San Ysidro
• Poway
• Encinitas
• Jarupa Valley
• Rancho Cucamonga (just because it's fun to say...)
• Sepulveda

 

[DeltaMac]

None are even close.
Next comes "macOS Alcatraz"

 

[bradl]

I keep saying...

Zzyzx will be the last version of MacOS.

 

[AZhappyjack]

Carmel? Sequoia? Joshua Tree?

 

[chscag]

Naw, it's going to be "Death Valley".

 

[6foot5foot]

macOS "Grand Canyon", implying the size of the distinction they wish to maintain between it and iOS.

<pedantry>
I know one thing for sure: I can predict with absolute and perfect accuracy that it WILL NOT have a capital "M" in the name "macOS"
</pedantry>

 

[tarsins]

Maybe Apple will look to the UK this year and we could have macOS Bognor Regis, macOS Clacton-on-Sea or even macOS Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwrthllantysiliogogogoch.

macOS... my bad...

 

[Rok73]

Compton.

 

[hallux]

Cupertino - to celebrate the opening of the Campus 2 location.

 

[Justaguy48]

macOS weed lol

But really my top favorite is Monterey, or San Francisco

 

[JeffyTheQuik]

We've done the beach, the mountains, items in mountains, how about we go to the agriculture, and do Fresno or San Joaquin?

 

[Mad Mac Maniac]

Based on my experiences of my past 2 week trip on California, I think the next name will be macOS Sequoia. Has a nice ring to it and we all know what a tree hugging company Apple is!

 

[chscag]

I love the big trees, but the name is too hard to spell and pronounce for our friends outside the US. (Worse than Yosemite was.)

Not any worse than El Capitan really...

 

[Bart Kela]

Here are a few:

• Badwater Basin
• Ghost Tree
• Twin Peaks
• Ocean Beach
• Devil's Postpile
• Kings Canyon
• Sequoia
• Lompoc
• Big Sur
• Furnace Creek
• Amargosa
• Black Butte
• Deadwood
• Hambone

and my personal preference: Cheeseville

Well for ease of spelling/pronouncing they could always go macOS Redwood. I was deciding between that and sequoia and thought that sequoia sounded better. Going to a tree next really makes sense to me.

The other two I like in this thread are Alcatraz and Carmel. I think those are the best candidates mentioned here.

Apple should name iOS 11 "Alcatraz"... gives a whole other level of meaning to "jailbreak".

 

[Ulenspiegel]

Los Dongles.

 

[dogslobber]

OS X San Quentin is my guess.

 

[William Payne]

It will be called "Mac OS Why are we even talking about this Sierra was only released 7 months ago"

 

[Stefan johansson]

macOS kremlin boss maybe? Seems like most of American government is run from the kremlin anyways.

 

[blackdogaudio]

If a big change in the new version of macOS...

"Mammoth" for Mammoth Mountain in Mammoth Lakes, CA.

 

[Sam Luis Obispo]

Long Valley - Still active and restless but hasn't erupted in a while.

"Sausalito" would be a good name but probably cause same issues.
