I still think BFG would work, just substitute Glass for Gun.

So no matter what we call this beast, the unofficial name may well be set by DPreview..Time will tell  I think the person who (1) actually first gets one, (2) shows what it can do, and (3) posts at an online forum gets to name the lens.

Romy/Liquidstone did it for the SigMonster. And BTW, hey Romy, how about dumping your tiny, pip-squeak, 300-800 and getting this new beast?  We'll even let you name it!Yes, I think the first one among us who gets this lens should have the privilege to name it. But I do like Sigmasaurus Ex, Sigzilla or Gigma...

That's easy, just add another 2x TC to your stack o' TCs and your starting at 1000 f/5.6 instead of 800 f/5.6, so you'd be at 16,000mm and the same f/stop you are at now, f/90. Philip Casciola
