I agree ... how about:
Fedora 7 Standard Install/LiveCD (containing a well-integrated default
selection suitable for the new Linux user ... GNOME desktop with
tweaks)
As "standard" has a well known, non-techie meaning of something
default or some reference that you can compare other similar things to
(i.e. the gold standard)
Other spins can be named by their main feature that deviates from the standard:
Fedora 7 GNOME Install/LiveCD (with "pure" GNOME desktop)
Fedora 7 KDE Install/LiveCD (with "pure" KDE desktop)
Fedora 7 XFCE Install/LiveCD (with "pure" XFCE desktop)
Fedora 7 Rescue LiveCD (with all the tools needed to fix things)
Fedora 7 World DVD (with everything you can cram on a DVD and more)
Just a thought,

This is all getting too complicated. Maybe that's a sign.
Perhaps we should ditch the non-Live CD version of Fedora 7, and just
have:
* Fedora 7 Live! (with Gnome)
* Fedora 7 Live! KDE edition.
Plus a note saying the operating system can run from the media directly,
or be installed to the hard disk, or used as a rescue disc.
On a separate note, I really can't imagine Live discs being used
extensively for day to day use- they get no security updates. But this
is a separate, and different issue.
