Indeed.  Since it aims to be a complete Python intepreter, I would
recommend following CPython/Jython's lead and at least ending in -ython.
As you say, Minimal Python is a sort of misnomer, since the goal is not
a minimal interpreter (although it could be trimmed down); the goal is
implementing as much of the current Python system within Python itself.

Perhaps something like Python-in-Python (PIP) might be a better name.

Although I must admit Ython has a weird attraction to me ...
