Report Program Generator I believe, Should the new name stand for
something like RPG COBOL and BASIC do, or should we jump to something that
means nothing like JAVA and apparently PIZZA?

Re: "Name that language"

Our RPG stands for "Report Generating Language" I believe?

The only choice, using that naming style, is AYERN for the new name.
"All You'll Ever Really Need." Or, TATAMP.. "The Answer To A Maiden's
Prayers"

"RPG" is about the only firm and recognizable name left in our World.
Please don't take that away.
