Just like how Android names it new releases with candy.

For example:
Angler
Bass
Catfish

A good idea but will cause a lot of confusion in the already crazy world of the computer chess community :mrgreen:

If Coca Cola would change its name nobody would buy it anymore. Same holds for Stockfish and Skipper.
True, remember Coca Cola naming their new product "New Coca Cola" and then they had their Coca Cola Classic. It was a marketing disaster. Let's name WD-40 -----------------> "Daddy's Juice".
