Pupa
Corona is the core of Cocoon without the shell. What is inside a
cocoon is called a pupa.
PUPA (always all capitals as an acronym) was the name of a software
project until 2002 when the project became GNU's Grub 2. Cocoon Pupa
is unlikely to be confused with an obsolete name for a pre-release
boot loader.
Checklist:
- Easily pronounceable in most languages. (Are there any modern
languages without the a P sound?)
- Negative cultural connotations? (The only American connotation
should not be negative for anybody over five years old.)
- Not currently used in software.
