I like SurQL, because I can say “circle,” and Google search results indicate it is not used. Other than that, SurrealQL seems like the best option, because the connection to SurrealDB is immediately clear. |

SurQL / "circle" sounds distinctive enough. Q: "Could you look into the data discrepancies for object A and B?" |

What about SSQL? It's short, distinctive and could potentially also be used as a file extension (.ssql) further down the road. As an abbreviation, it can be interpreted as "Surreal SQL", "Super SQL" or "Special SQL". |

I like SURQL or SRQL because you could pronounce it like "circle" which I think is cool. |

Definitely SurQL or SRQL. SurQL just rolls off the tongue so well whilst SRQL would be a really good file name extension like @trbodev suggested. |

@tobiemh Is it really mandatory to keep the "QL" part ? I mean, it's not only a query language anyway, and we know that it's an API to talk to the SurrealDB, why not trying to find a more poetic name ? Like, I don't know, if it's surreal, we can have .dali files (DAtabase Language Interface ? I'm good with retronyms 😆 ) or .mag ( like Magritte, no retronym here) |

I stumbled on someone suggesting SuQL (pronounced suckle), and it sure has stuck with me. Maybe not the most poetic, but lighthearted and memorable for sure. |

I know I'm coming into this a little late, but why don't we refer to it as SrlQL? (SRLQL) It's compact enough to be convenient, avoids, SQL confusion, and is pronounced exactly as intended, 'SurrealQL' |
