Also in honor of Grace Hopper. Try looking up the old posts on this subject - lots of names were kicked around. Me? I'm not married to the name. Assuming this effort moves forward, I could go with just about anything that consumes five or fewer characters. (I liked "ACE" - short and leading to lots of card-game spinoff names - but feel free to suggest ones of your own.)
