There is none […] The name for 3.0.0 was an inside joke […]

This discussion is moot. Think about it: Why introduce names? It is, for instance, useful when you provide support for multiple versions at the same time (e. g. in the Debian context stable and oldstable). The name is handier for the mortal user in lieu of a string of “abstract numbers”. However, to my knowledge as far as the FPC is concerned, once there is a new release any previous release reaches EOL, thus is not supported anymore. Therefore, assigning names is pure vanity. I think we can skip that.

I agree.
I liked the "Majestic Magpie" and "Radiant Raven" suggestions.

Ciao Simone, I don't think we are alone!

Yes, I imagine, since the Pascal language is (was) very popular in Italy.
A Latin name is suggestive, after all 'Lazarus' is a latinized name.
Ciao Paolo! Ciao a tutti!

Huh, if I may, Lazarus name has Hebrew origin and means "God has helped".
