On a totally serious note, I really like that.  Sound good, plus it have
that nebulous connotation that I find really cool for code name.
Somewhat reminescent of RedHat's codename before they got all serious
and boring (Enigma, Shrieke, etc).

<Happy> Kiboko or <Trempling> Tembo ... that would be awesome.
