Never mind that there already was a language called Swift. I really hope they trademarked or copyrighted the name, but it seems unlikely - they'll probably just get steam-rollered and forgotten.

There were actually two (released at approximately the same time): http://swift-lang.org. Apparently the name isn't terribly original.
