It does? To me it sounds the best. It's reasonably common and active in
English recently. A lot of the other suggestions would suffer a change
of /o:/ -> /Or/ in at least my dialect which'll break the association
with 'Dor' (I would never have thought of 'Doric' /dOrIk/, for example,
as being related to 'Dor' /do:/.)

I don't like it, though. At least if we're going for transparency (as
above for reasons). If we aren't, you might as well call it Erther ;)
(Not that I can speak: /Ta:2f/ Tâb -> /ra2mn&2n/ Etábnanni.)
