As developers, naming releases grants us collective ownership, and boosts our morale by making everyone part of something. We don’t want to be talking about releases in numbers, they’re too corporate-esque.

This is an idea borrowed from WWII aircraft manufacturers. Just a few from the United States:
Grumman's F4F Wildcat, F6F Hellcat, F7F Tigercat, F8F Bearcat, F9F Panther, F9F Cougar (a Panther with swept wings), F-11 Tiger, F-14 Tomcat, Republic's P-47 Thunderbolt ("Jug"), F-84 Thunderjet, F-84F Thunderstreak (an F-84 w/swept wings), and F-105 Thunderchief ("Thud"), the Vought F4U Corsair, F6U Pirate, F7U Cutlass, and F-8 Crusader, McDonnell's FH-2 Banshee, F3H Demon, F-101 Voodoo, and F-4 Phantom II of Vietnam, Lockheed's P-38 Lightning, P-80 Shooting Star, F-94 Starfire, F-104 Starfighter (the "Missile w/a Man in it"), the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress, B-29 Super Fortress, B-47 Stratojet, and B-52 Stratofortress ("BUFF") to name just a few.
The Brits excelled at this, as did the Japanese (not the Germans or Soviets, preferring numbers).
