Names for C successor languages are pretty well exhausted by this point, so I sympathize, but I strongly associate the name C* with a decade-old rant about C compilers’ aggressive exploitation of undefined behavior: https://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/kps2015/proceedings/KPS_20... . (In calling it a rant I don’t mean that it’s altogether unpersuasive. Its style is just a bit spicier than I am used to seeing typeset in Computer Modern.)
