What should Cesil be named?

This was posed in Overthinking CSV With Cesil: Open Source Update

Cesil's current name can be confused with another .NET OSS project, Cecil.

This is less than ideal.

Since Cesil is a pretty young project, a rename probably makes sense. So, what should this library (currently known as Cesil) be named?

Ideally the name will be:

  • Short
  • Unique
  • A play on the function of the library

This is an Open Question, which means:

[A]s part of the sustainable open source experiment I detailed in the first post of this series, any commentary from a Tier 2 GitHub Sponsor will be addressed in a future comment or post. Feedback from non-sponsors will receive equal consideration, but may not be directly addressed.

My first take, lean in on the "Delimiter Separated Value"-ness of the library, and just go with Desil.

Comma CommaNet Comma.Net

Don’t appear to be any libraries with that name on initial search (.net suggested just in case the is in nodejs or other framework.
