Naming Mars+1 (2016 @EclipseFdn Release)

It’s that time of year that members of the Eclipse Foundation Planning Council help spearhead the community-based naming process of the next Eclipse release (slated for 2016).

The rules are contained in this bug where you can submit names for consideration. Here are the guidelines for names:

The rules and procedure for naming Mars+1 will be similar to what has happened in the past. The name should be alphabetically greater than “M”

Preference will be given to “N” names, but no strict rule that others would not be considered. Preference given to names that fit the “moon”, “heavenly body gods”, or “scientists” themes we’ve had in the past.

I’m suggested Nova or Neutrino to start, but have taken a liking to Neptune as a potential option:

Have a better suggestion for a name? Well put it in the bug before we call for an official vote in the coming weeks.

Thank you!
