So can I.

Absolutely.

If we want to change the name, it would have to be sth like this, I
guess. The problem with an alternative name for EL++ is that its
distinguishing feature is that it is more a real ontology language
than the other fragments. But then, it feels strange to emphasize that
property since, after all, what we are standardizing *is* ontology 
languages.

> DL Lite  OWL-Rel (for relational?)

I find that a little misleading. Speaking about relations is not
exactly one of DL Lite's strengths (unless the relations are unary).

> OWL-R  OWL-Rul

Made me laugh, but maybe it only sounds funny in German. :)

I would propose names here if I could come up with good suggestions,
but I can't. Since, as Ian says, the names are already in wide
circulation, sticking with the existing names may not be the worst
choice.
