In addition, when you're only one subclass to another system, you'd
better find a generic or an independant name.
It should be something vivid that's related to a famous explorer or
exploration, IMO. Like "Vespucci" or "NorthwestPassage".
In that category, I would propose Mercator, or perhaps Gerardus, his

Another problem that may happen, even for opensource projects, is
using names of corporations or trade marks. There is a Mercator Inc
(GPS Systems).
