This was already mentioned (kind of) but what is wrong with following:

Centos x.y-YYMM

This way you keep the current way and allow to create snapshots (one per month)
It will not be confused with the .z branch from redhat either

+1 for staying aligned with upstream.  "CentOS X.Y == RHEL X.Y" is easy to explain to management and corporate IT organizations that are hostile / risk-averse to open-source.  Anything that requires more words / though and you're on the defensive and have lost the battle.
