Monero Release Naming Convention

Monero's naming convention of a chemical element, and celestial object, and was decided on via a discussion on the official forum in 2015 and after a community enthusiasm for Lithium Luna in 2018. Alliteration or assonance is also required, for maximum awesomeness. As an example, the first Monero release following this convention was named "Hydrogen Helix".
