The Very Large Array (National Radio Telescope) is looking for a new name. Can you come up with one?

“Its original, 1970s-vintage electronics have been replaced with state-of-the-art equipment, increasing its technical capabilities by factors of as much as 8,000 and greatly increasing the array’s scientific impact.”
And now, with the finish of the transformation in sight, they are asking the public to come up with a new name.
Jellies being very creative creatures….., what is your submission?
