Even though I would prefer not renaming anything (except maybe randomly renaming all of the streets in big cities on a weekly basis...lol), I do have an idea on what GnuPG 2.0.x could be called. My idea is to call it GnuPG+ or GnuPG++, as each would show that it has more capabilities than GnuPG 1.4.x. The executable could be called 'gpg++', though this would be close to g++ which is the GCC program for compiling c++ files.
