I think "pd64" is fine, otherwise the list get's catchy/dumb:

pdpd (haha)
pd two-times
pd again
pd double trouble
pd dubs'
pd-sharp (less rounding)
...

I would fine "dppd" confusing unless we go ahead and re-brand ala "pd vanilla" and "double-dipped pd" aka "dppd"...

It should be named dppd to avoid confusion imho.

or pddp (or is that already taken?)

when csound switched to double precision they renamed things to 
"csound64" (with "things" being at least the libraries that hold the 
engine).

so i like pd64 better, as it is obvious that this is still Pd (and not 
just some nice palindromic acronym).

but anyhow, yes: we probably need a catchy name.
