The codenames for every major Debian release are named after characters from Pixar's Toy Story franchise. Debian's unstable release is fittingly named after Sid, an unstable character from the Toy Story movies.

Plenty, as well as the upcoming release of Toy Story 5.

Oh they should definitely choose Rocky as name for the next Debian release.

And if they ever run out of Toy Story characters, the Marvel universe has thousands of other characters...

Not to mention other Pixar film characters.

They'll be fine. Remember when we all joked about Covid-19 Omega variant a few years ago?

Especially when you realise main releases happen every five years, or so

That's what I thought. I think the most popular name they have actually used is Jessie.
