Since you make mention of "eigenclass", that would seem to be your bent. 
And I say, go for it! "eigenmethod"? Fantastic! Do it, do it, do it!

It may be Germanic, but I for one like the shorter method names anyway. 
And certainly _Why has done enough for Ruby to deserve a little of his 
charm to shine through the language... it will just give Ruby another 
unique touch that her fans can revel in. Not to mention, no more 
Singleton vs. singleton controversy.

Big smiles and all thumbs up,
