Anyone given the P-1 a name yet? I can think of a couple!
Um, Nimlod?

'Real' possibilities might include Suijin: God of water, or Kane (a foreshortening of Omoikane): God of intelligence & wisdom, then there's Tengu: wise bird. Not too many others trip of the Western tongue as well as they do in Japanese.

'Tsunami' fits well - and globally understood, but perhaps somewhat lacking in tact.
