A good name for Whonix Host is needed as Whonix Host alone isn’t very descriptive / not sounding very exciting.
What I don’t like about Whonix Live is that it sounds too limited too.
It’s not only Live.
The great thing is, we can combine the best of both worlds. Boot into persistent mode by choosing so at grub boot meu, upgrade everything and on demand reboot into Live mode by choosing live boot in grub boot menu.
It’s also based on hardened debian (rename required, too ) which comes with many enhanced default security enhancement such as jitterentropy-rng installed by default.
Whonix Host name suggestions welcome.

Whonix Duo was a suggestion by @HulaHoop .
That’s a good one, and good line of thought.
Perhaps we can combine a word like live and persistent?
Whonix perslive
Whonix persylive
Whonix persolive
Whonix livepersi
Whonix liveopersi
Whonix liveor
Whonix lifer
[live liver livest]
Whonix Living
Whonix live|pers
Whonix livepers
Whonix lifpers
Whonix host naming is more easy since we don’t invent something totally new (hardened debian) since we can include “Whonix” in the name.
We can also consider synonyms for live (maybe not so much) and persistent.
Also might be good to keep the style adding a dash ("-") in between, i.e.:
Other words to mix:
Such as:
Whonix-LiveSave
Whonix-LiveSaver
Whonix-LiveSaving
Whonix-SaveLive
Whonix-SaverLive
Whonix-SavingLive
Whonix-OrLive
Whonix-AndLive
Whonix-Alive
Whonix-ChoseLive
Whonix-LiveChoice
Whonix-YesLiveNo
Whonix-NoLiveYes
Whonix-AltLive
Also to be considered:
synonyms of Live and Persistent.
Please state which ones you like.
I like Whonix Duo
Not feeling very enthusiastic about the other ones
I saw “Whonix One” somewhere I think? I like it too, it conveys the meaning of having all features integrated into a single ISO (live mode, installer, persistence…).

Whonix Duo sounds interesting but may imply versioning to some. Whonix One surely will be confusing. Next version - Whonix One 2.0 ?
Perhaps borrow elements from the corresponding Debian nickname (allowed?)

Problem with this is that these don’t imply [high priority in name] live

Indeed.

Possibly but same as above.

Ok, so if we want to sound flexible, polymorphic, multi-options, perhaps something like -
WhonixFlex
WhonixPoly, Polymorphnix, Polynix…
MultiNix, Whonix Multiform
Chameleon
But then we step away from the “integrated” nature of the system.

What about?
Whonix Antero
Pages for logged out editors learn more
In neurology, anterograde amnesia is the inability to create new memories after the event that caused amnesia, leading to a partial or complete inability to recall the recent past, while long-term memories from before the event remain intact. This is in contrast to retrograde amnesia, where memories created prior to the event are lost while new memories can still be created. Both can occur together in the same patient. To a large degree, anterogra...
EDIT:
We can play around with the capitalization so it gives a nice acronym:
Whonix AnTero ->WAT
or as a forgetful or coy person might ask

KeepWhonixLive: a hardened host for Whonix
1 Like
Nice suggestion. Perhaps a better flowing name is Whonix Keep. It has an interesting meaning besides implying persistence/permanence. A keep is the fortified castle in English forts from the Middle Ages. This symbolizes a hardened host and also a safe sanctuary where the system lord/admin is in control.
A keep (from the Middle English kype) is a type of fortified tower built within castles during the Middle Ages by European nobility. Scholars have debated the scope of the word keep, but usually consider it to refer to large towers in castles that were fortified residences, used as a refuge of last resort should the rest of the castle fall to an adversary. The first keeps were made of timber and formed a key part of the motte-and-bailey castles that emerged in Normandy and Anjou during the 10th...

I like that reference, but I think that two words can’t meet the naming constraints. Three should be better.
