I'm not sure if you are aware of this list, but late last year I was
assigned the task of gathering the brunt of these suggestions @
http://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:Guix/Suggested_Distro_Names

Curious to what your feelings would be on some of these that haven't
been talked about much if at all and/or if any of these would make
decent alternatives for "Guixotic'.
