Oh... then perhaps keep the info secret ;)

I like codenames, they give a mysterious aura nobody needs to really
know about :p -- unfortunately I just broke the magic :/

I'm no Star Wars fan [1], but I could suggest some other funny
mysterious names like Aranarth, Arahel, Ostoher or Ciryandil...

But honestly I see no problem continuing to call releases the same way
as before if you provides the names ^^

[1] here I should probably say something like "I'm a Star Trek, Star
Wars just sucks" to start a flamewar... unfortunately it's not true :(
