But I prefer these names:
* Calypso System Browser
* Calypso Debugger
* Iceberg Source Control Management
* Zinc HTTP Client
* Zinc HTTP Server
* Fuel Serialization
* Glamorous Spotter [*]
* etc.

[*] I particularly dislike "Glamorous" adjective.

In the case of wrapper for libraries I'm hesitant to decide whether to
indicate pharo name in it or not.
I mean stuff like a NaCl wrapper calling it "NaCl-Pharo" instead of
calling "Salty".

Fortunately in the past the lack of namespaces caused the use of
prefixes instead of suffixes.

With time prefixes become invisible.

A suffix, instead, will get into all your names, bothering with other
existing suffixes like `Component`, `Model`, `Collection`, and so on.
