Crater3DS
Or an alternative spelling: "CrayTR"
Cray is a company that makes supercomputers. The 3DS definitely isn't but it sounds cool. CTR also fits in
(can also assume it's a play on words of "creator" since you're creating this engine. Man, the irony considering your username )

I can name a good three. or rather my best three.
1: 3DSol (Sol->solar, i.e, the sun, something we as humans have been intrigued by since the dawn of time)
2: Einst3in (Einstein. father of Astrophysics, looked up to by many.)
3: Cyclotron (A device used to Accelerate charged particles.)
hope these were good.

Finalizing entries... You may continue to submit until midnight (12:00AM), Monday, Oct 17, 2016. Those entries will also be included, for fairness.
Going to practice and see how to add a poll to this thread.
You'll hear from me before the end of this week, Friday, Oct. 21, 2016 of the new name.
Top contenders thus far (going by ascending order of post numbers in this thread):
I will be making example projects once the engine is done. It will come, naturally.

Changed Crater3DS to CrayTR, as requested by author.
Most of the top contenders are picked because their suggested names sound nice, fit the constraints I gave, and give more familiarity to the project. There are some names I cannot pick, including Neutrino3D, which is referencing NTR, as you pointed out. Thus, it does not fit Constraint #1 (on page 1, at the top). I'm not doing Nintendo DS physics engine. Only for 3DS.

After 2 long nights, the name has been picked. I'm going for Pica, because it matches the original intention of "extending" the graphics library (hinting "graphics"), as well as it being a reference to the PICA200 graphics chipset on the 3DS.
The "3D" are usually named for the "graphical technologies" in the library, however mine doesn't contain many graphical features. Only physics and math features. Citro3D is a 2-syllable word, tagged with a 3D, so it makes sense to have the 3D at the end. Pica, in the same sense, is a 2-syllable word without graphics.
Therefore, the winner is LinkBlaBla.
Thank you everyone for your contributions.
