The branding here I think is a big issue. The name "Rocky Linux" sounds too homebrew and unprofessional. CentOS sounds Enterprise-ish. I find it hard to believe any corporate client would take it seriously.

Great, another Linux distro... I am trying to use something , but I just can't. Spending my time fixing problems instead of doing actual work is fun, for a while. Every damn time I start this one laptop with Linux, trying to get away from Windows 10, there's something to fix. Oh, the undervolt is not being applied, time to build the whole thing again. Oh, restart causes it to wank the hard drive indefinitely for some…
This distro is meant for servers, or maybe long term stable desktops you’d want in a classroom or something like that. People running servers don’t need any of the stuff you mentioned.
I'm not sure where the idea that CentOS is for servers came from.

I actually think CentOS sounds pretty unprofessional (although familiar), while Rocky Linux sounds unfamiliar although at least has a meaningful inspiration. I would bet it could come to be equally as esteemed as a product called "CentOS" (or even "Red Hat") eventually.
CentOS is Community Enterprise OS. Enterprise is right in the name. I just imagine going to the big boss and saying, "We're moving to Rocky Linux" is going to be a tougher sell based on the somewhat juvenile nature of someone's first name with a Y on the end of it.

Why is Ubuntu bad branding? Seems short, memorable, good meaning, original, etc.
the naming makes it sound like unstable version of linux.
Taken from https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_philosophy
But yes, Ubuntu is based on Debian's Unstable branch.

And regardless I am not really sure how I feel about the professionalism of backronyms in general.

You can get far with bad branding. Case: Ubuntu

"Enterprise" isn't right in the name. "ent" is.
Until a few weeks ago, I didn't know what the "Cent" part of "CentOS" meant, mostly because I didn't care. I somewhat assumed it meant the same as "penny".
Rocky Linux actually sounds good to me. Like a solid, rocky foundation on which to build your house.
