Actually, I'm proud of the work that we are doing on Avalon, but I hate the name. It just sounds lame and dorky to me. I guess this is what you get when you vote on a code name. Aero and Indigo are much better names. In fact, the shell team has the best code names: Aero, Jade, Luna, Plex. I guess it is because they have designers who are creative types.
The worst code name I can think of right now was for NT4. It started out being just and update to the shell. So, it was called the "Shell Update Release" that got abbreviated SUR. They even made T-Shirts that said "We don't need any stinkin' code name."
Anyone haved examples of other really bad code names for projects?
