There is not a very "formal" process for those names. Usually it's the
development team that makes a proposal for a codename, the proposed name
is run by the OpenStack Foundation for a very superficial check to
exclude the most obvious trademark issues and if none are found, the
name gets baked into a git repository, gerrit, etc.

Are you thinking of proposing a new project? Make sure you're familiar
with the governance pages on the wiki, like:
