Glenn,
Is there a reliable way to do this short of INTERPRET?

I'm not sure how INTERPRET could help calling an external routine with the
same name
Call (Translate(.context~name, qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm',,

Using either the LOWER() built-in or lower() method might be simpler than
this TRANSLATE()
What if it's all digits and special characters?

You might append/prepend a lower-case letter or some very unlikely
characters like '00 00'x to the internal name and name the external routine
appropriately
Depending on what you want to achieve with this setup, alternatives like
classes might fit your concept better.
Also, ooRexx 5.0 introduces a concept called "namespace". With this, your
external routines can be loaded with e. g. "::requires 'external.cls'
namespace external" and then called with "call external:name"
