If you are anything like me you will find the system of using numbers to refer to OLL's extremely annoying and inconvenient. After over two years of cubing I still cannot link a case to a number and have to look up the OLL everytime I hear OLL-so-and-so. Numbers are very hard to link to images just like how in BLD letter pairs are harder to memorize. This is why people create words for their pairs. It makes it easy to visualize and relate things to one another.
This is why I think it would be a good idea if we name OLL's. This has been proposed before and the SS wiki even has names under all the OLL cases, but this has never really caught on and sometimes the names can be confusing. Here I propose a newer, easier naming system that I believe is good enough to gain traction. I also think that by actually implementing it into our vocabulary will encourage others to adopt it also until it overtakes the awful number system.
This document is not perfect. I am not satisfied with "Karen" or "Bunny". If you have any suggestions that you believe are better, please leave a comment on the document. This is very intuitive to learn and I want to make it even better by having words that can easily be linked to their respective cases. Some names describe the action of the OLL also. This includes "Sexysledge", "Spring", and others. Whenever the word "anti" is used this refers to a simple mirror of the pieces. I believe this has massive potential and will makes OLL referencing much easier.
