That was the first thing that came to mind for me.

Shouldn't it also have a companion utility named peek?

:-D

If you combime poke and peek you could get "poek" still pronounced poke, and also have a little allusion to elegance by being almost "poet".

Honestly I don't suggest that, just having fun. Simple is good in a name. Then again, so is a unique search term.
