</span>Apparently Michael chose the name, and it's the one we have in <a href="http://lld.llvm.org/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://lld.llvm.org/</a><br>

I would like to make this change if you have no objections.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Technically Chris chose the name lld after vetoing the original name.</div><div><br></div><div>As for the name, I prefer lld, just like clang (<a href="http://clang.llvm.org/">http://clang.llvm.org/</a>).
