Rigid sounds good. I don't think you should worry too much about the
name being mistaken for something else. Phonon or Solid are nice
names, and when you know what they mean they sound kind'a logical, but
nobody will be able to figure out what apps/libs they represent by
name alone - so why should you require that? I think a quantum-related
thing is already close enough, but it's your call of course.

Now that I think about it, why not use the name of someone like Newton
or another 'big' name in the physics field? And what about Apple ;-)
(Wait, that's taken...)
