Would you suggest alternative names for Perl 6?

Why do you ask? Are you taking suggestions for the purpose of making an actionable decision?

The fact of the past decade of Perl6 development is that the name is immutably Perl6. The decision maker(s) have spoken. It's done.

After naming my kids, 3rd party suggestions ten years after the fact wouldn't make a bit of difference; their names are decided, and we've long since moved on.

So it is with Perl6; it's been named. That name was decided upon 10 years ago. Perl5 has enough version numbering namespace left to last it almost 40 more years before someone has to come up with another solution. I think we can safely move on with life. :)

(At one major release per year, and with major releases being given even numbers, and given that we're at 5.20 now, we have 39 releases remaining before 5.98 bumps into 6.0.)

By the way: I do see value in critical thinking; asking why, how, what if. It just happens that this one is a bit stale.
