I hated the name monkey.
I'll think of some suggestions, but I have to say the current tech trend of usurping common words of the english language for new tech things is just lazy and arrogant imo. 
Microsoft used to be the worst offender back in the day with stupid names like 'dot net'.
Remember 'microsoft DNA' from around 2000.  Ya, DNA is already a thing.. try again..
If you say a name, and an 8 year old and an 80 year old both already know what that word is, then pick another name for your project.  ;D
'BlitzMax' was a decent name, in that it was its own thing, although it sounded a bit like a toy language.

How about 'LACOILLI'  the LAnguage for COde ILLIterates   :P

Yeah GW I know what you mean.

BTW: LACOILLI sounds italian, mh? :D

It should be something easy to remember and not so easy to mistype or misspell.

I think we should(?) avoid something with Blitz? Dunno... I once had the idea "BitsBasic" but as Monkey is hardly a basic dialect this doesn't fit.

Or maybe we should use Blitz in the name? Something like "BlitzCross"?

CroBlitz? (cross platform Blitz)
BlitzPro?

Frome memory (discussion on the old forums...)
BlitzLuquid (edit: BlitzLiquid!)
BlitzX
Prime
Gorizza (edit: Gorilla!!!)
BlitzFusion
BlitzNext

In any case, who cares ?

MX2 (well, Monkey2) it's the current name. And not the best thing I've listen to!

edit: some typos... launch time & typing are not my best :) - sorry!
If there's a problem, there's at least one solution.

I wouldn't use anything with "Blitz" in the title. Avoid it like the plague. Based on skid's behavior (and I don't know how much apart of Mark Sibly's company he is), he would send any one of you a C&D letter signed by a lawyer.
I'm insane and not in a funny or good way! nrgs.org

Mhh... That "X" could stand for Cross Platform then? Have to do a trademark lookup...

edit: "Blitz" is trademarked for software. Interestingly (of course NOT) by Mark.

LACOILLI is more of a joke.
I would recommend staying away from the word blitz. 'Blitz Research' is Marks company.

Yes and it's trademarked not even by Mark. LOL

More suggestions:

FlexileEngine/Tools
Medusa (yeah that's the one with the many snakes as hair)
Hydra (well many heads like targets, mh?)
LegionEngine/Tools
DreamGameEngine
RageTools
Void-X
Daemon-X

I would have said call it RoninX, but I understand that there is a an electro-dance artist that goes by that name. Maybe just call it X Sun WuKong.

Too close to Apache Flex and the Flexile is some sort of database thing for iOS devices.
