I like squeak as a name (but I'm spanish speaker who lives in spanish 
speaking places, so... maybe is not the same in english).
But... if for "seriously taken" you mean "seriously taken by 
companies"... I think the first thing to face is the look&feel of the 
environment (who is being addressed sucessfully with UI Enhancements)
