Motivations
Transparency is one of my core values, meaning successes and failures should be shared openly and accountability for choices is necessary. This cannot happen of the expense of kindness and taking other people's situations and perspectives into consideration is crucial.

I am voting No towards the proposal of naming the next hard fork HOSKY. While HOSKY has undeniably contributed a lot to Cardano, with onboarding initiatives, educational work about governance and decentralization, and the support of smaller, individual SPOs (of which I am one), naming a hard fork after the project has two main issues for me.
The first one is that as an open blockchain, it might be perceived as a type of advertising, and influence people into thinking that HOSKY is an officially endorsed project. In the past, hard forks were named after individuals that have no commercial benefit from having it named after them. I believe that this should continue.
The second issue is, that HOSKY presents itself as a meme project. While I have nothing against meme coints, I believe that naming a hard fork after such a project might not be the best way to represent the Cardano ecosystem to the outside world. Even if the project itself strongly advocates for what I believe are the right values when it comes to our blockchain, and HOSKY might be known by many already in the community, external parties we are trying to onboard may see this as facetious behavior. I would rather ensure we are taken serious while having fun, instead of being seen as a joker, trying to appeal to the entire world.
