We already have (had) Iceweasel, IceCat and Waterfox among others. All nice word plays on the original Firefox name. LibreWolf follows along the same path.
You don't have to use the exact same naming scheme. But even if you did it's pretty trivial to come up with better names. I bet even ChatGPT can do it. Here's the list it came up with for me:
Thunderwolf
Breezefalcon
Stonehawk
Blazeleopard
Rainlynx
Frostowl
Lightningpanther
Shadowraven
Solarfox
Cloudtiger
Ok most are pretty trash but Stonehawk is good. Maybe Thunderwolf. Still better than LibreWolf.
the largest problem with librewolf is the difficult pronunciation, I think, just as with forgejo. stonehawk is easy, as is not a terrible name either. maybe "stone" is not terribly interesting, though. but it still seems to be an improvement for me.
what is your take on it? why do you think it's not better?
What would you call it instead?

…proceeds to not do it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You don't think Stonehawk is a better name than LibreWolf? Kind of proving my point there.
No, I don't, does that also prove your point?

I just think that they are pretty much same interest-wise, and LibreWolf at least tries to convey some meaning
don’t sleep on frost owl. Owl heads are kind of round so it would make a good icon.
