Just brainstorming here:
How about just Indiana or jONEs(hehe, from Sun ONE and Indiana Jones) or 
OpenSun or SunOp(as in dawn, but referring to Operating system) or 
SolsticeOS(yup, Sun actually had Solstice Backup and other stuff, but 
AFAIK not an OS with that name).

I've actually always thought that OpenIndiana was a good name, but way 
too long.
