I preferred "P" because of the BCPL ancestor.
If BCPL begat "B" and "B" begat "C", then "C" should have begatten "P".
Not sure if begatten is a word :)

BCPL is short of Bootstrap CPL, given its initial purpose, the fact it took off on its own was not planned.
Most good ideas never are.
It's "begotten" or "begot". :)
