K&R started with BCPL as their base of inspiration. They then made B, and then C. The followup should be called P.

Some people really suck at coming up with names for their programming languages. There are so many single letter languages (B, C, D, E, F, J, K, V...) that it really makes one wonder what the fuck is wrong with them

These days, search engine optimization tends to force new single letter languages into obscurity. Even Go would have issues there if Google hadn't been behind it.
