Maybe B-- ?
You know, B for BASIC, and a negative times a negative is a positive, so...
the problem with this name that I see is its similarity to B and C--
this may cause just as much confusion as the current name imo
Well, look at other programming language's names:
C
D
Haskell
Python
C++
C#
Well, they mean nothing!
So, I recommend having Ephan. It's just a random name 
C# name was chossen as follows (according to wikipedia): The name "C sharp" was inspired by musical notation where a sharp indicates that the written note should be made a semitone higher in pitch.[8] This is similar to the language name of C++, where "++" indicates that a variable should be incremented by 1.
C# is a decendant of C++ and the name both indicates so musically and visually (a sharp looks like a two stacked ++s)
C++ also has reasoning to its name.
Etymology
According to Stroustrup: "the name signifies the evolutionary nature of the changes from C".[9] During C++'s development period, the language had been referred to as "new C", then "C with Classes". The final name is credited to Rick Mascitti (mid-1983) and was first used in December 1983. When Mascitti was questioned informally in 1992 about the naming, he indicated that it was given in a tongue-in-cheek spirit. It stems from C's "++" operator (which increments the value of a variable) and a common naming convention of using "+" to indicate an enhanced computer program. There is no language called "C plus". ABCL/c+ was the name of an earlier, unrelated programming language.
D follows the same naming convention of C in the sense that C was a descendant of the B programming language
but that leads one to wonder where the name B came from?
well it turns out B was a descendant of BCPL which was a descendant of CPL
BCPL stands for Basic Combined Programming Language
and I would guess that the name B was taken from the B in BCPL as B was very closely related to it.
so believe it or not, most of those do have reasoning behind the names
I have no idea about Haskell and Python though, I am sure there are reasons though (probably on wikipedia but I dont feel like checking atm)
edit: Haskell is named after logician Haskell Curry
