Is it named D Minor to imply it is in harmony with C#?

  That and probably as a pun on the D language. I'm sure Walter Bright just LOVES the name. /s

  If so, it's wrong. Those two keys would clash - their tonics are only a half step apart. The relative minor for C#(major) would be A#m. You find that by calling C# "1" and counting up the musical scale to 6.

    In the harmonic D Minor, the C is raised to C#.

  Or perhaps they're paying tribute to me!
