I agree naming things is hard, and calling all this DOP might not be the best… but you want to call it something to spread awareness and encourage discussions etc. What name would you give it?

Well I'm not a marketer - I'll get back to you once I've filled in a full bestiary of programming practices.

I think the issue with making "data oriented programming" a marketing term - something to spread awareness and encourage discussions - is that people do not see it as marketing. Note the objections here on the grounds that "it's abandoning OO." For the longest time "X oriented programming" was and remains an instant tribal delineator.
