I generally object to ambiguous capitalisation (MjoLniR), because it makes everything harder for the people who want to get it "right" when they're manually writing the name from memory. Plus it requires a bunch of extra of redirects, and clarifications in the introduction, etc. cf https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Naming_things and the thankfully no-longer confusingly named https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SyntaxHighlight (née GeSHi) But "mjolnir" would be ok :)

Something about PLURAL just doesn't strike me. MjoLniR on the other hand doesn't seem too bad, if a little esoteric. And sorry but i think using non-ascii in the name of a git repository is just asking for trouble somewhere :P. I'm also not opposed to being very boring and calling it cirrusearch-mlr or cirrussearch-ltrank

OH I JUST GOT WHY WE CAN CAPITALIZE THE FINAL R.
Okay, so MjöLniR => the hammer used for _M_achine _L_earning & _R_anking, with the added benefit of the pronunciation being "myol-near" => ML-near => learning to rank articles _near_ the query.
BOOM! *mic drop*

Plus, whatever are the two main components that go into building MjöLniR would be, somewhat opaquely, Sindri and Brokkr https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mj%C3%B6lnir.
