OSX 10.5 "Sabertooth"
Continuing on a theme of cats, why not the badest of them all to duke it out with Longhorn?
(of course this isn't official, but I think it would make for a pretty cool name)Titianium 1Ghz, 512MB Ram, SuperDrive, 60GB hd

Heh... my vote's for Lion.
On a side note, a Liger sure looks like it could whoop a Lion's ass:

Save the best for last. Lion should be used for version 10.9.
The Sabertooth is extinct so even though it's a cool sounding name I don't think it'll work for OS X.

Ligers are freaks of nature that are way too big for their own good. So unless 10.5 is going to require 2 gigs of RAM and a 3GHz dual-core CPU (y'know, like Longhorn), I just don't think Liger would be a fitting name. :P And I don't think the image of a monster that's literally ancient history is much better, personally.
They shouldn't have rushed to something so pedestrian as Tiger so soon. Cougar would've made a good name (and, IIRC, they got it trademarked), but it'd seem too much like a step down from "Tiger", so I don't think it's an option anymore. I think it's Lion or nothing for 10.5, and then they need to find a new theme.
I nominate pastries. Everyone loves Mac OS X Pie!

I think you're being a little harsh. Ligers are a cross breed of Tigers and Lions. People made them breed, but out in the wild that would never happen.
