New name for VLA?

Names issue: The agency that manages the Very Large Array in the Plains of San Agustin has decided that after a huge remodeling the sprawling radio telescope needs a new name. Without weighing in on whether a new name is needed, it is fun to try to come up with a name that would be appropriate for an unearthly high-tech facility in the middle of New Mexico Nowhere.

Page One did a great job with their launch party for Sweeney last Friday. They're good people.

VLA name suggestion needed

Suggest a new name for the Very Large Array! The most
famous radio telescope in the world is about to get a new name. The NRAO's
Very Large Array (VLA) is nearing completion of an amazing transformation to
a completely new scientific facility, so the National Radio
Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) seeks ideas for a new name for the VLA. Click

enter a free-form name, or a word or phrase to come as a prefix before "Very
Large Array," or both. Entries will be accepted until 23:59 EST on December

American Astronomical Society's meeting in Austin, Texas, on Tuesday,
