The CamelCase leads naturally to a pronounciation of Coh Del

coddle rhymes with bridle in most dialects I can think of, esr (not on
this list presently) would know... it's the 'o' that will be
repronounced, regardless,
and spelling it with the 'a' sound doesn't help in maine.

That said, I do like vowels, so codel (non-camelcase) would be good,
and it is a valid word already, so existing usages *might not* cause
problems, but do a google search for it's existing googlejuice, and
decide.

codl is short and relatively unambiguous. not a lot of googlejuice
either. I like it.
