Name your next model of the Raspberry pi!

[ProDigit]

So, any ideas for a next model raspberry pi name?

Amongst the few, could be cranberry pi, blueberry pi, or chocolate-cream pie!

or perhaps some less healthy alternatives, like ham-burger, or hot-dog bun?

Lol!

[jamesh]

I shall call him George.

Name taken already - old ICL O/S
Surely it wll be the Model C

[Lynbarn]

Ah! GEORGE – I remember it well!  ICL1900 Mainframe – the size of a small house, punched card input, fanfold paper output (printer spacing controlled by punched paper tape loops), disk drives the size of washing machines, processing power of a digital watch! …

But I digress.  There is probably a bit of a clue in the developers – The Raspberry Pi Foundation. The Model A and B were named after the BBC Micro. Future models could, perhaps continue the alphabetic sequence, or maybe there will be a "Master" added to the mix.

Archimedes !!

the Acorn Archimedes was probably one of the machines so far ahead of its time that I suspect aliens had something to do with its concept...a Archimedes 540 could give any  x86 PC a run for its money right up to mid to late 90's

if only the PC market had gone down the ARM/RISC route, imagine where we would be now

should cut down the nonsense

I think its better to keep the model thing and don't change the name.

Model C

Ah, glad someone got the reference! Well done that man!

[Tass]

Keep it simple:

Malcolm Peter Brian Telescope Adrian Umbrella Stand Jasper Wednesday (pops mouth twice) Stoatgobbler John Raw Vegetable (whinnying) Arthur Norman Michael (blows squeaker) Featherstone Smith (whistle) Northgot Edwards Harris (fires pistol, then 'whoop') Mason (chuff-chuff-chuff-chuff) Frampton Jones Fruitbat (squeaker) Gilbert (sings) 'We'll keep a welcome in the' (three shots) Williams If I Could Walk That Way (squeaker) Tiger-drawers Pratt Thompson (sings) 'Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head' Darcy Carter (horn) Pussycat (sings) 'Don't Sleep In The Subway' Barton Mainwaring (hoot, 'whoop') Smith

I'm reading the last post with the voice of Ronnie Barker in my head in the role of PC World Sales Assistant responding to a punters question of "which type of computer should I buy?"

It'll never happen, but I wish it'd be Seagoon, which gives you the letter C without being unoriginal... I love The Goons and eps of it and the Telegoons are on YouTube.  Model E should of course be Eccles. Those with no idea what I am talking about, should go to YouTube and look for the animated cartoon version of "What time is it, Eccles?"

Now off to check eBay for a cardboard, leather and string Raspi case... in case the fellow won't make lasered-acrylic cases without the logo.

Raspberry Pi Model C

Raspberry Cobbler

Raspberry Pi XL (who doesn't like moar/bigger pie? )

Out of ideas.

Raspberry Tart?

This is such a cool case, I already ordered one

I just need to have my Pi shipped by Element 14...

[alexeames]

I know this is the off topic forum, but does that mean the posts within a thread should be off topic?

I simply don't know if that is the case or not?

I think my next Raspberry Pi will be called Raspberry Pi number 3.
"I am not a number I am a free Pi running free software."

[Gert van Loo]

I though that was simple:

Model C.

[pauldow]

It should be called the 'Model D' just for the spectator sport of watching all the "Why no Model C?" questions it would create.
