It's the Lisp Problem: If you call your new language by the same name as an existing one, even if you add qualifiers (such as Common Lisp or similar), people will think it's exactly the same and that no progress has been made. OTOH, if you make a minor change, but give the result a whole new name (Java vs C++, C# vs Java), people will think the result is meaningfully different and take it as a sign of major progress.
