It's official: the newly discovered element has a name: Flerovium. It is the superheavy brother of "lead" on the 7th period and symbol is Fl and was named after the Russian scientist Georgy Flyorov. I thought: Why not calling it FLÝ? This word has exactly the first three first characters of the surname, it rhymes on "blý" (lead) and sounds like the verb "flýja" (flee, escape), which is a convenient connotation because the element is very unstable in comparison to lead.
