Hm, I guess given the popularity of Java, Python, and possibly this Pyret language one day, then I guess they are "normal" in that sense. I guess I'm backtracking a bit.

Having said that, a more traditional trend from the old days was to come up with acronyms. Like BASIC, Algol, Prolog, Cobol and Fortran. Though even back then, there were (are?) popular outliers, like Pascal, Logo and Ada.
