Ha. My entire career I've named (almost) every program I've ever written something-tron, or more usually, something-o-tron. (Sometimes suffixed with "2000" or "3000" depending on how cool it is.)
I guess this means I really am old now.
I expect the modern equivalent would be "-inator" as a suffix.
To boost your Perry the Platypus streed cred, definitely.
