C++ is itself a “cute” name. It seems to be doing just fine.

Beyond that, “crate” specifically has utility. The closest existing name is “compilation unit,” but with things like incremental compilation, that’s a bit of a misnomer. We need some kind of name.

C too (from B, which was a stripped down BCPL).
