Just in case you didn't know, the "adding +" part of your idea is what inspired the naming of C#. If you look at the #, it is supposed to represent two columns of two + each.

Nice! I never thought about this. I believed part of the reason they chose "C#" is because of musical terminology: "C#" means C-sharp, which is on a higher pitch than a plain "C".
