New Element Discovered (112), What to Name it...

A new super-heavy element has been discovered. It has the atomic number of 112. Elements of this size tend not to last long, and this one decays in a few milliseconds.

"The ubiquitous periodic table will soon have a new addition - the "super-heavy" element 112.
...
To create element 112, Professor Hofmann's team used a 120m-long particle accelerator to fire a beam of charged zinc atoms (or zinc ions) at lead atoms. Nuclei of the two elements merged, or fused, to form the nucleus of the new element."

But what to call it. One likely sci-fi (or at least Superman) fan (hater?) has an idea.

"scientists in the US (update – sorry, actually it was in Germany – thanks Dr Bob!) have discovered a new element. I thought it might be fun to start a campaign for it to be called Kryptonite."
