If MacFoo and WinBar are OK, then surely "Mac Cli" is OK.
Or shorten it to MacCli if you must.
The actual command doesn't have to change.

I agree with you, plus the command name is really easy to remember.

I do love 'Docker' though.

I do too, but I didn't choose it :) It was an internal codename picked by one of the early engineers on the project. In fact I firmly intended to change the name before launch - but we accidentally launched ahead of schedule and people loved it. The rest is history.
A good example of my ineptitude at identifying good names.

That is why asking is always a good idea. I've met entrepreneurs that have the mindset that everything has to be an idea of themselves. I think that ego is a big player on their mindset.
The great thing about open-source is that everything is created through collaborarion. The best of everyone is contributed to a project in benefit of the entire community.
I'm really terrible at choosing names, so I'm sorry for criticizing more than I'm suggesting.
I wish you lots of success, the world needs more easy to use development tools. Don't let armchair quarterbacks like me demotivate you :)
