I think we should immediately remove both boob, baby and babe from the list.

And how good is B2 ?

or BBL?

Be Back Later sounds bad for a fast(?) build system
and if we want to avoid religious connection, how good is BBT?

Reading the contributions to this thread makes me wonder:
How is this ever going to be decided? Is there a policy for changing names within boost? There have been a lot of names proposed and quite a bit of dissension about the name changing at all due to build script breakage. However, I'm pretty sure the names not derived from "Boost.Build" are disqualified because they would either defeat the purpose of the renaming or they would require rebranding of Boost.Build in its entirety. And the concerns about build script breakage are nullified if my suggestion of leaving a (deprecated) bjam wrapper executable to call the new executable is used. So that still leaves a pretty long list, but at least they're all quite similar: bb bbv2 bbuild bboost boostie boosty buildb bmake bbmake baby babe b2 bbl bam bbt boob boobi
Apologies if I missed a few. -Matt
