I actually like StableDict best. ?When I hear that I think, "ah, the key order is stable in the face of insertions, unlike a regular dict".

But it still doesn't convey what the ordering actually *is*.

Please, stick with OrderedDict. That's the name used historically by most people who independently reinvented this functionality.

It's also what I typed into google and PYPI when I went looking for this functionality. +1 for odereddict or odict or OrderedDict.
