I plan to create some kind of quantum programming language, but I'm having difficulties in choosing a good name. I'm thinking mostly about some abbreviated names. Some of the quantum programming languages that already exist are: QCL (Quantum Computation Language), Q Language, qGCL (Quantum Guarded Command Language, LanQ, QPL (Quantum Programming Language).

All name suggestions are highly welcomed.

Becket (Dr Sam Becket from Quantum Leap)

[Duckington]

Becker (Dr Becker from Becker)

[Skydiver]

Quanta Numera ... a mondegreen of the song Guantanamera.

If you think you're going to develop this programming language all by yourself these names might also work:

• qUnrealistic
  
• qUnfinished
  
• qOutOfDate

QProl (Quantum Processing Language)
Tango/Tangol/Tangle (Entanglement)

Becket (Dr Sam Becket from Quantum Leap)

I like this. My last name is Beckett!

Yeah, I'm sorry erkant, but you can't be serious about creating a language for quantum computing. Do you have a PhD in theoretical physics by chance? Even though the programming interface may be cleanly separated from the inner-workings of the quantum machine, I would imagine you'd need quite the mastery of Quantum Mechanics and Computation to be successful.

I really liked this one.
Thanks for sharing.

And by the way, I don't plan to develop the language alone, I will have help during the programming process. I'm also doing it mostly for trying a new programming experience, and for fun. Also thanks to all of you for your opinions, and more are welcomed. But as I said I'm mostly looking for a name that can be abbreviated to a few letters. If I was choosing a person's name, I would definitely had chosen the name Dirac (from Paul Dirac).
