I’ll admit that when news broke about the Lambda variant, a man I know and I were joking that we would then use Hebrew letters, then Cyrillic letters, and then Sanskrit, and then who knows what else.
I hope we don’t have to find out.
I just hope the Omega variant winds up being completely insignificant, or we’ll never hear the end of it from conspiracy types.
Start naming them after figures from Greek myth from A to Z starting with Andromeda.
On Beyond Zebra!
And if different enough, we should really call it a strain instead of a variant. So, Andromeda strain it is! That has a nice ring to it.
Dwalin, Balin, Kili, Fili, Dori, Nori, Ori, Oin, Gloin, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, and Thorin.
Qmega!
I was thinking they would double- and triple-up the Greek letters so we’d have something like another pestilence: the Greek system at college (Tri-Lamb and Omega-Mu, for example). We already have the Delta (house) variant.
Yan, tan, tethera, pethera…
It won’t matter, because we won’t be the species naming them.
hmm…I just had a politically correct thought:
Why are we using Greek letters?
Why discriminate against the Greeks?
This is a micro-aggression , for sure!!
Critical Race Theory to the rescue!!!
When the flu first appeared in China, we didn’t dare call it the Wuhan flu, and each time a variant emerged in a new country, were weren’t allowed to call it by the name of the country.
But making negative connotations about Greece is okay.?
Why hasn’t anybody had the guts to be woke, and reject such obvious racism?
Shouldn’t some white people on campuses somewhere be screaming loudly that they want to take their fair portion of the blame, too.?
Let’s start using the English alphabet!!!
(military terms would sound nice, like platoon names: Able,Bravo,Charlie,Echo,Foxtrot)
Probably, reset every year so the first new variant identified next year is Alpha22, etc.
Thing is, the Tri-Delts are a real sorority.
We could always start in on the Hebrew alphabet.
(The trouble is… Has nobody noticed that, when compared side-by-side, the Hebrew, Greek, Latin, Cyrillic, and some other alphabets are basically all the same alphabet with only some minor variations?)
Sanskrit, then? Thai?
I say we just start using the names of Pokémon.
Did you leave out the Greek letters (Alpha not Able; and D is Delta) to be more woke? 
There are several versions of the “radio alphabet” is common use. In particular, one version is used by military and in aviation; another version is commonly used by law enforcement people. The two versions have several of their words in common.
I recommend the sheep counting system of England:
Yan, tan, tethera, methera, pimp,
sethera, lethera, hovera, dovera, dick,
yanadick, tanadick, tetheradick, petheradick, bumfit,
yanabumfit, tanabumfit, tetherabumfit, petherabumfit, jiggit
