E, F, G, and H are already taken. It's hard to say whether I is available, or un-googleable. J through W are also taken. X++ is taken, but X seems to be available. Y and Z are taken. A would be an excellent choice were it not completely un-googleable. Finally, B is a famous precursor to C.

D++

--C

I'm confused, I thought that there already were 3 around? Or at least 2? gcc plus the one from dlang?

the 3rd, LDC, uses LLVM as backend. Both all share the same frontend. https://dlang.org/download.html open-D is not a 4th implementation it's a fork.

There also SDC which is an experimental D compiler not using DMD code. I don't know how complete it is but it is actively updated.
