Asking your son was a terrific idea. . Did he suggest anything else? I suspect many people don't know what Typhon means, so the name wouldn't work for a big chunk of potential users. As I keep saying, I'd prefer to find a name that is meaningful to almost everyone. (By the way I'm glad to know there are still ten year olds that like to read books!)

Coincidentally, I just happened to learn that herds of hippos are called thunders -- "a thunder of hippos" -- so the name would work on more than one level.

According to Wikipedia: Sett of badgers, cauldron of bats, sloth of bears, sedge of cranes. bask of crocodiles, skulk of foxes, slew of sharks, clowder of cats... lots more. "Slew" almost works as a name for the program. Wikipedia lists a couple hunder of these wonderful old words:
