Offices of the Social Democratic Party

The trouble with 'SDP' is... well... yeah.

But there's nothing wrong with being known as Social Democrats, so how about we just add another letter somewhere?

The problem there is that there is a difference between Social Democracy and Democratic Socialism

There isn't really. Generically the two terms mean exactly the same thing; reformist/revisionist/gradualist socialism, adhering to parliamentary norms. In certain specific contexts (namely in Britain between about 1950 and 1990) the two terms have meant something specifically different, of course, but specifics relating to another country aren't relevant to how this party is to be named.

I'm sorry if this comes across as back-slapping, but I think we're doing very well here. We set this party up (in practice anyway) a couple of days ago and already we're having an endless debate about our identity, just like a real social democratic party!

SPP - Socialist People's Party

That's the one I think. Yes. Especially as it seems as though the party is going to have a nationalist streak with possible traces of a national liberation movement of some kind decades ago.
