With Pacific nearly out the door, it's past time to finalize the name for the Q release.  Traditionally we have chosen cephalopod species.  For Q, the options are more limited, so we've had to stretch what qualifies as a cephalopod species name a bit.  The contenders:

Quincy: for Squidward Quincy Tentacles of Spongebob fame

Quebecoceras: an extinct genus of nautiloid

Quarren: a species of aquatic humanoids (nicknamed "squid heads") from the Star Wars universe

Qarnit: Maltese for "octopus"

There were a few non-cephalopod suggestions, notably Quarantine.

Please vote here by adding a "+1" to your preferred name:
