It's already the name of a popular drug that's been around for half a century, with signs pointing towards increasing usage and legalization. There's thousands of research papers on "Ecstasy" already, and millions of people searching for "tips on ecstasy" or "how to use ecstasy".

Whomever named this language is a moron.

"Whomever [sic] named this language is a moron."

That would be this moron.

I would have chosen a different name, but they were all taken.
