IMHO the name needs to be distinctive from parrot - pharrot is a little too
close.

What about taking the idea from Space Odyssey where they derived the name
for the HAL 9000 by shifting the letters of I.B.M. back one to get H.A.L.?

Applying this to P.H.P. you get O.G.O. - but someone is using this already
to brand software. Hmmm. What about shifting forwards?  You get Q.I.Q.  --
which could be pronounced "quick" ... a web development company is using
this domain -- so less troublesome than O.G.O. but still not totally
unencumbered.

Hmmm. Just some ideas ...
