Sorry but we had a voting and discussion - on the Discord server - about the name, the current name is considered permanent. We were well aware of the collision at the time of choosing the name, but since it's a fairly unknown language discontinued more than 30 years ago, we decided we can safely use the name.

We considered this when first discussing the name, and we came to the conclusion that the already existing language is likely old and obscure enough for the naming overlap to not be a significant issue.
