I chose "interp" because it was one syllable of the word "interpolate" and 
was easy to pronounce and remember! "aggreg" is two and a half syllables 
and not IMHO a very obvious abbreviation. I still like r.resamp.stats. The 
reasoning being that the the map is re-sampled based on statistical
aggregation of cell values. I think it is more obvious what the
functionality is: "stats" is obviously a more general term than 
"aggregate" and in general I wouldn't be for "dumbing down" but that just 
seems like an appropriate generalisation in the circumstances!
I do think Glynn should just commit it with whatever he feels is the most 
appropriate name though. He's not usually wrong.
