Note: The article's title is "A Request to Larry Wall to Create a Language Name Alias for Perl 6", and the first paragraph says:
This name is not a rename of the language, but is simply an alternative name, an alias. Similar to how TimToady is an alias for Larry Wall.
And it includes a link to what Larry Wall had to say about a similar question, which is that an alias is a possibility - that video appears to be the motivation for the article in the first place. The way I read the article, it's just asking Larry to pick a name.
I know this may seem nitpicky, but note this quote from the video:
... whether it's Perl 5 or Perl 6, that is really the name of the whole culture, and it's why we're all here together.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
