Yes.

Also D Programming Language does work well even for those that just call it D since usually the page will also mention programming or languages. Must people will use the full description at least once.

D has already made a name for itself, both good and bad. And if we did change the name it would become 100% more difficult to find because everything would be referencing the D programming language and not blah blah.
