Note: The article's title is "A Request to Larry Wall to Create a Language Name Alias for Perl 6", and the first paragraph says:

This name is not a rename of the language, but is simply an alternative name, an alias. Similar to how TimToady is an alias for Larry Wall.

And it includes a link to what Larry Wall had to say about a similar question, which is that an alias is a possibility - that video appears to be the motivation for the article in the first place. The way I read the article, it's just asking Larry to pick a name.

I know this may seem nitpicky, but note this quote from the video:

... whether it's Perl 5 or Perl 6, that is really the name of the whole culture, and it's why we're all here together.
