We already have:

What should the 64 bit Phobos be named?
I'd agree that yet another name is not needed, but just for fun - you
have another moon :) That name would fully reflect feelings of people
facing D anew when they look at things like std.algorithm or std.range
:)
We should have chosen a planet with more moons, to be forward-compatible
- for what happens when D3 (or 128-bit, to stay more on topic) arrives?
There was a Deimos project for D already, available on
http://dsource.org/projects/deimos. It is however abandoned, so one could
conceivably take their name.
Now, the main problem is that we are currently talking only about what
the 64-bit version of the library should be called, and calling that
Deimos and the 32-bit Phobos is bound to confuse people.
Oh, and for the actual posed question - I think lib64/libphobos2.a is the
best.
