compose? &&& pair?
etc...

That's fine though ambiguous.
&&& pair?
etc...
The rest don't generally accepted readings. There are some examples of wordier names used (e.g. fork for (&&&)), but nothing generally accepted.

Well, compose usually means something with type (a c d -> a b c -> a b d), but (>>>) has the dual type (a b c -> a c d -> a b d). So it's really "cocompose", which, of course, can be shortened to "mpose". -Brent
