If you're going to be inspired by hg, pick a cleverer name. :-)

If you want to add a thin attractive layer, silver-plate the thing and call it "ag". Since it contains the letter g as well, I'm sure that someone can come up with a good backronym for it.

Latin element names:

Ag - Argentum Au - Aureum Cu - Cuprum Fe - Ferrum Hg - Hydrargyrum K - Kalium Na - Natrium Pb - Plumbum Sb - Stibium
