I really think someone needs to convince them to change the name to something like "Rock Solid Linux". Is there anyway to try to make this happen?

As others have pointed out, the name is a tribute to a late CentOS cofounder Rocky McGaugh. It would be sad if it had to be changed. We should perhaps emphasize the CentOS lineage in the name instead.

...and Rocky's Solid Linux it is!

I didn't know about the "Rocky" tribute, but IMHO it would still work as a great nod to Rocky McGaugh with "Rock" instead of "Rocky".
