Update July 14, 2023 Next CL upgrade named Electra on ACDC call 113
An E-star name is likely needed for the Consensus Layer upgrade after Deneb,possibly be for the Verge + other features.
The consensus layer uses star names for upgrades whilst the execution layer uses Devcon cities .Post-Merge Network Upgrade Naming Schemes
Upcoming upgrade names:
Making the next upgrade after that likely to be Prague + E star name.
@protolambda has already suggested Practra (Prague + Electra)
Electra would then be a great follow-up star name: Electra is a star in the Taurus constellation (bull after bear
(Apologies if I am stepping on the process for selecting star upgrade names as I’m not a core dev )

Pari suggested that the name for Eletra + Prague should be “Petra”, which sounds much nicer and pronounceable than Practra.

Although Electra sounds good in pronunciation, I voted for Enif because Electra complex was on page 1 when I googled Electra.
On the other hand, Enif : the brightest star in the northern constellation of Pegasus .

@timbeiko ’s poll showed (some) community support for merged names (CL star + EL city)https://twitter.com/TimBeiko/status/1638971921168756736
@EvanVanNessEth suggests Errai
I propose that the CL fork after Deneb be named Errai
Two reasons:
Errai is the future north pole star of the Earth , and will remain so for the next couple thousand years when it becomes so. Perfect for Ethereum.
Prague will be the EL fork, and i like the combos of Errai and Prague better than I liked the combos of other E named stars.
Errague or (my preferred) Prarrai both sound decent, imho.
Next CL upgrade named Electra on ACDC call 113
Shapella (Shanghai + Capella)
Dencun (Cancun + Deneb))
It’s not the meme I’d want to play…
