Stephen Hackett posted a good list of Bad Guesses for the Next macOS Name.
Here’s my list of Good Names for macOS 10.13. These are all places in California I can imagine Apple choosing for the next name.
- Big Basin
- Big Sur
- Idyllwild
- La Jolla
- Lassen
- Oceanside
- Ojai
- Pacifica
- Palm Springs
- Pasadena
- Paso Robles
- Santa Barbara
- Santa Cruz
- San Diego
- Solvang
- Sonoma
- Temecula
- Tahoe

Big Sur is one of my favorite places, and it has been badly damaged and partially cut off by landslides from California’s epic rainfall this Spring. It would seem very much like Apple to choose Big Sur to highlight this beautiful area and bring attention to its current plight. Big Sur has my vote. Fingers crossed.
