D has chosen to use the naming scheme of C and as such it should be honest and use D++ because that's what D is: An expanded version of the former language.
"D is C++ done right", that used to be one of D's slogans. It doesn't mean that is sees itself as being branched off of C++ though. I see it as being branched off of C, with similar intentions as had Bjarne Stroustrup, but making better choices and thereby, arguably, taking a bigger leap forward. So, I think "D" fits perfectly, any "++" suffix makes no sense to me.
You say D is an expanded version of C++. I think it's more an expanded version of C, surpassing C++.
