We had Fortran II and Fortran IV, so logically, Fortran 66 would have been
Fortran V or Fortran 5.  That would make the subsequent standards 6 (77), 8
(90) - because it was clearly two revisions-worth (;-), and 9 (95).

The new version might, therefore, be considered as Fortran 10 or, reverting
to Fortran's roots, Fortran X - which could be pronounced as either Fortran
X or Fortran Ten (using a Macintosh OS analogy ;-).
