What should i call my distro?

Even though i love Linux (i have succsesfully migrated to Slackware 10 from wink2)
there are alot of stuff that I miss and i want to try to make my own distro, what should i call it?

I think that "Alux" sounds nice.

Call it "Paramparai Sothu Linux" or just "Sothu Linux"

Paramparai - Your ancestors/forebearers.
Sothu - Wealth.

In my language Tamil "Paramparai Sothu" means inheritance (i.e. ancestral wealth which you inherit, not C or C++ inheritance )

Several years ago, when I first got heavily into linux, I rolled my own with LFS. I called it : S.U.X. 6000(from the robocop movie). It just had a nice ring to it, and my build did indeed suck, so it was fitting. Wonder where I put that old disk.
