Hey Esteve, all,

Kinetic Kame sounds fine. The words relate to turtles and energy due to
motion, both of which align well with the ROS spirit. I'm open to
Kappa-based suggestions as well, but  snappy name instances have not yet
been produced.

On politically correctness, I would avoid names containing Kahlúa for
undesired associations with central nervous system stimulants [1] and
recreational drugs [2]. I would also avoid variations of kamehameha, as it
means "Turtle Devastation/Destruction Wave" [3], i.e., not constructive
enough ;-). There are also potential trademark issues with both the Kahlúa
liquor and the Dragon Ball manga series.

Best,

Adolfo.
