I just imagine going to the big boss and saying, "We're moving to Rocky Linux" is going to be a tougher sell based on the somewhat juvenile nature of someone's first name with a Y on the end of it.
"Enterprise" isn't right in the name. "ent" is.
Until a few weeks ago, I didn't know what the "Cent" part of "CentOS" meant, mostly because I didn't care. I somewhat assumed it meant the same as "penny".
Rocky Linux actually sounds good to me. Like a solid, rocky foundation on which to build your house.
And regardless I am not really sure how I feel about the professionalism of backronyms in general.
We're arguing about a frigging name. Rocky Linux; you know what Madrake sounds to an Italian? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KguscIm8N0Y
Clearly I seem to be in the minority, however. I guess time will tell.
I think, especially around Linux and open source projects, people care much less about naming than we tend to believe. Product reputation and the endorsement of IT/developers matters far more, in my experience, than a name.
