Thanks for the naming ideas!

Since many of these ideas are family-related I had a look for synonyms
for 'offspring' that begin with s (so that we have no difficulty
explaining why the binaries still have 'sge' in the name).

There is 'spawn of GridEngine'.  (Also 'seed of GridEngine' but it
seems a bit too sexual to me.. . maybe spawn would be better).  I feel
like 'sister of GridEngine' maybe doesn't sit well with the fact that
the project is a derivation of Son of GridEngine, not a parallel
project.  'spawn' still sounds like it could be in a horror movie, but
I'm OK with that.
