Funny I was going to make a programming language called Glyph as well but than i discovered GlyphLang so I decided to call it Kith instead.

When creating a programming language it's worth assuming nobody will ever use it.

So name it after yourself, or give it a single-letter name (that seems equally common based on looking at /r/compilers or /r/ProgrammingLanguages).

I named my toy "s", s for Steve, so I could do both at the same time!
