small point:  the new name ought to be googleable.  Numpy already has an 
existance, so, at least for a while, googling numpy will return lots of 
obsolete information.   Scicore, for example, wouldn't suffer from this 
problem, although I'm not crazy about scicore.  Names like cobra aren't 
very good in this regard.  

I sometimes use a TeX macro package called ConTeXt.   Google is useless.

ATC, I like numpy at the moment, with reservations.
