What is it with # as a suffix in language names?

C#, I totally get - in music, C# is an augmented C and that's totally descriptive of the intent of the language. C# is a really good name!

J# kind of stretches the pun a bit as J isn't a note but at least it suggests some kind of augmented Java.

With F# it starts getting a bit weird as I don't think that F# has anything to do with F but at least you can find it on a piano keyboard.

Q# isn't related to Q and isn't a note either.

It just seems to get more tenuous as it goes along.

For what it's worth, I'd have called it "Quark" and sat back to enjoy the ensuing "kwork vs. kwark" pronunciation debates on Code Project.
