Why not "Portable  Sugar-Desktop"

 this covers USB/SD/CD/&USB Hard Disks at least.

Other distributions have called it:

    * openSUSE-Sugar-Live (dd to USB/SD)
    * openSUSE-Edu-live-Li-f-e (Server) with Sugar( dd to 8GB USB/SD)
    * F11-Live-Edu (sh script)
    * Trisquel-Edu (Live USB)
    * Trisquel-Sugar (Announced today)
    * F12(rawhide)education i386xxxxx (dd to USB/SD)
    * Sugar Tree  "Strawberry Soas" Jabber:ss.sugaronastick.com


It looks like the other distributions have already settled on non-Soas names
