Ask HN: Need ideas for a programming language name

I need some ideas for a programming language name. I originally came up with "Rylang" for my language, but it turns out there is a language with a similar name "Rye" already.

So far my best idea is "Magnesium" but it doesn't roll off the tounge very well.

Anyone want to volunteer a suggestion?

It is a low level (C/C++-like) systems programming language.

    Pebble/pebbles? As in those stones on the bottom of the river polished by the water or sand.

    Assuming it does memory management well, call it geheugen, which is Dutch for memory.
