To change the name now is not too late and I also think it should be done before 
the language goes commercial.

D sounds nice but not very convincing. Especially "The D Programming language" 
when googling... Try typing in google.com "Java", "Visual Basic", "C++", "Ruby", 
"Python", "Eiffel" and you might feel the difference! The Difference!!!

Think once more, please, before regecting the idea. A successful name would be 
unique enough and noticable.
