>These are all excellent names

Wholeheartedly agree. what about something like Sage? B? You/U? Manifest?



- Maybe, design your language first, then name it.

- Single-letter names are mostly taken (e.g., B: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B_(programming_language)

- Focus on one key feature your language does better than others. Low-level languages are trending; high-level application languages are crowded. For example, if you could make assembly-style code user-friendly, that could be a strong niche.
