I think WeakMap would be a fine name. Having make that vote, I'll also say that ObjectMap would also be a fine name. I believe that an "EphemeronTable" is almost always want a app/library developer wants when they want to make an associative mapping keyed by object identity. The exceptional case is actually the one where you don't want the key to be "weak". After all, what good is an association where nobody holds its key?
