Why not Perl 2000? It's both futuristic and original. I don't think the name is the problem, I think that there is just too much competition among languages. If you ask a younger person which language they want to learn, will they think of Perl at all? Where is it used? Everywhere isn't an answer, Web or application programming or Apps are answers. What can I use instead that recruiters think is cool/relevant is also a fair question, albeit a simultaneously stupid one.
