# Monero Release Naming Convention
Monero's naming convention of a chemical element, and a star or constellation or Messier object, and was decided on via a discussion on the official forum in 2015. Alliteration or assonance is also required, for maximum awesomeness. As an example, the first Monero release following this convention was named "Hydrogen Helix".
