To open yet another can of worms: its always awkward and confusing when a “QN" release ends up coming out in QN+1 . A code name is a way to avoid this; I’d like to see “Q3 Release” jettisoned ASAP.
Chemical elements would be a great theme, I think, although there’s no reason to restrict it to noble gasses. The first release could be “Hydrogen”; that gives us about 118 names before we run out.
Yes, our development target should be Neon. If a project can't ship on Neon, it can still be a part of the Science 2016 Q3 Release.
I like the idea of something that begins with an A, but I'm concerned that using an element for the science release will cause unnecessary confusion.

But, now that you mention it, I was going to suggest that we call our Q3 release Argon since it is the next noble gas after Neon. "Just a stable... just bigger!" ;-)
Figured that might be a little too nerdy, even for this crowd.
