I've been calling it ES6 for a while. It reflects the variety of js that generally matters now. Also concise, and reasonably pronounceable (I'd rather say aloud "ee-es-six" than "ecmascript" which seems to me an awkward aglomeration of phonemes)

Did you know they're trying to get you to stop that and call it ES2015? No joke. Only standards bodies think it's a good idea to come up with a new version of the word "version" for each major new version.

  The best example of this I know is the HL7 FHIR standard. v1 = DSTU1, v2 = DSTU2, v3 = STU3, v4 = R4 I'm hoping that they call the next one "V5", just for fun.
