Certainly better than MeeGo or Tizen names....
Let's just hope Meltemi doesn't evolve and gets rebranded as Poo OS by Nokia's marketing geniuses.
Dilmom: Why don't you call your product the Gruntmaster 6000?
Dilbert: What kind of product do you see when you imagine a Gruntmaster 6000?
Dilmom: Well it's a stripped-down version of the Gruntmaster 9000 of course. But it's software-upgradeable.

But that's all part of planned obsolescence. It's what makes the world goes 'round these days.

I can hear 'Oohh's coming from the former T-shirt designers in Nokia's London office. Perfect self-irony in a hipster kind of way. They'll start working on it once their book "Nokia leader in social marketing 2.0: How to ruin value effortlessly" is finished

A: None.. that's a Nokia hardware problem. :P

You've clearly never read or watched Dilbert and therefore have no idea just how critical a project name really is for the customer to be impressed and interested.
Dogbert: As you probably know, all the good product names have been trademarked by companies who are competent.
Wally: Competent? How are we going to compete with that?
Yet, you clearly miss the point of internal names and what is known publicly. (And no, a leak is not a public advertisement, much less a marketed product name).
