So, had Sun been bought by IBM, the combined company could have been referred to as Blue Sun.

What's a good shorthand name for Sun-Oracle? Preferably one with a nerdy double meaning.

When my father's brother explores the outer reaches of a nearby star's heliosphere, he becomes a Suncle.

Craig,

Soaracle has a ring to it.

John,

I admit I'm shameless from time to time. But I don't know how the Oracle-Sun acquisition will play out, for good or ill, and I'm not going to stifle my sense of humor in the meantime.
