I can picture a big cat in my mind. That helped to peg OS X releases and enabled me to mentally distinguish and order them. I can't picture "Monterey" or "Ventura" or any other macOS names, they have no meaning to me.

Big Sur, Monterey, Yosemite, El Capitan, Catalina... all worked for me because I've either been there or there was a screensaver/wallpaper to associate them with their locales. I really don't know a thing about Ventura.

Ventura has a meaning to me.... Ace Ventura, a cartoon from my childhood about a egotistical questionably competent detective. I'm not sure that's the image Apple wants to give off though...

  Ventura was also the home of Chouinard Equipment, later renamed to Black Diamond Equipment, and is the base of Patagonia, a clothing company.
