standardized. First representative of an AV shop that raises the hand says "We got a new one! Can't give details of course since you are a competitor. But if you find the same thing in your research, let's call it Humptydumpty-2." Whoever finds the virus first has first choice on the name. No sharing of information required, just agreement on a name.
Of course, I *didnt* find the same thing, so I called it Jabberwocky-3. Only later did we find out it was the same thing. Only way to do that sanely is the way tropical storms are done - make up a *long* list beforehand, and as each AV vendor raises their hand, the get the next name in the list. Remember guys - I may need a name for the variant I'm about to push a signature out the door *before* I have any way of finding out that you've got a different variant.
