I have one brewing too. I chose SAL, which means (depending on the
phase of the moon): 

Stephe's Ada Library
Standard Ada Library
Spiffy Ada Library

SAL is also my initials.

Go with an acronym that has at least one reasonable meaning related to
you, and let everybody else guess :). But make sure it is different
than everyone else's base library name! I guess www.adapower.com has
the most comprehensive of libraries.
