Well if it's names of obscure but widely used languages you want, take a
look at the mumbo jumbo that Ada replaced.  According to "An Overview
of Ada" by J.G.P. Barnes, evaluations of existing languages included:

FORTRAN, COBOL, PL/I, HAL/S, TACPOL, CMS-2, CS-4, SPL/1, J3B, J73,
Algol 60, Algol 68, CORAL 66, Pascal, SIMULA 67, LIS, LTR, RTL/2, Euclid,
PDL2, PEARL, MORAL and EL-1.
