It turns out that the Chronus widget may not exist under the name 'Chronus' for much longer. The Cyanogenmod team received a Cease & Desist for the name due to someone previously trademarking the name 'Cronus'. The team made it clear that the widget has absolutely nothing to do with the name 'Cronus', however they don't have the time and resources to spend on fighting it.
So now the team is asking for help to pick a new name! I only know of doing it via their Facebook page (comment). The CM team will be picking the new name and this is not a contest; and has said that this is not subject to a popularity poll. You can also post suggestions to their Google+ page. [Thanks Daino92!]
What suggestions do you have for the team?

Titan, as Cronus was a Titan. Saturn, as that is what the Romans called him. Goya, as in the painter of that disturbing depiction of Saturn.

Might be a bit nerdy but Qo'noS should work. The whole release could be in English, Spanish, and Klingon.

They could decide to go to court and then counter sue the party and make money off of it and pay the lawyer... but that would waste time :/

I really believe this is one of those silly trademarks that shouldn't have been trademarked. How can you trademark a name that is 3000 years old? Technically a diety. I would love to see someone try to trademark, God or Jesus. Just the name. Or trademark the word "Time" or "Clock"
How about Aeon aka Eternal Time.
