A guerilla marketing plan for a new language is to call it a common one word syllable, so that it appears much more prominent than it really is on badly-done popularity contests.

Call it "Go", for example.

(Necessary disclaimer for the irony-impaired: this is a joke and an attempt at being witty.)
