Also enough of the effin lakes. I guess it was chosen precisely because they knew they would do the same chip over and over and over and over again for the next 20 years after AMD died according to plan... So they needed something that would be very numerous but sounded kind of big... Cities wouldn't cut it, they would have run out by now... Streets are just a little streets... So lakes! Thats it, they can get 20 years worth of related codenames as they make the same crap over and over slightly changed.
