Codespaces now automatically creates more user friendly names

We've gotten a lot of feedback from users that it's hard to differentiate multiple codespaces in the same repo, especially if they're on the same branch. To make it a little easier to tell codespaces apart, we've started automatically creating "friendly" (and fun) names for your codespaces.

codespace_friendly_names

If you don't like our names, we're also working on the ability for users to re-name their codespaces.

For more information on Codespaces, see "GitHub Codespaces overview".
