Eh, as for geekiness, I cannot help but reading ! as “store” in my mind due to my Forth roots.

Heard it referred to as a “bang” loads of times, but it only just registered that it’s the “bang” in interrobang.

Sometimes “shebang”, as that’s an existing word.
I called it “sharp” when I was a kid, as I first saw it in music notation. Then “hash” when I started programming. The language C# is of course pronounced “C-sharp.”

The interrobang has to be my favorite non-standard punctuation mark.

But we may not know that # was an abbreviation of lb, “pound by weight” in Latin, or this symbol’s name is also octothorpe.
In colonial British and Spanish documents (perhaps other, but those are the ones I know) people writing “pound by weight” definitely scribbled something resembling the #.

Programmers call it “bang” as well.

Correct! But pronounced “shuhbang” by everyone I’ve heard it from. “Oh, you have a space in your shuhbang and you may need to chuhmod your file.” (For the Unix-y #! and chmod)
And I appreciate that Discourse is holding these posts for Mod review, I assume for the scripty contents that may be an injection attack. Phoneticizing commands must look dangerous, like summoning an Old One.

In Dutch, ‘#’ is ‘hekje’, a “little fence”. Italian, as someone has already pointed out, uses “cancelletto”, a “little gate”.
In French, the ‘@’ is officially called ‘arobase’ or ‘arrobas’ (and other variations), but I prefer its other name: ‘escargot’, meaning ‘snail’. In Dutch, it’s ‘aapje’ (“little monkey”) or “apenstart”/“apenstaartje” (“monkey tail”/“little monkey tail”).
In English geek-speak, ‘!’ is most commonly ‘bang’, but sometimes it’s ‘shriek’. ‘?’ can be ‘query’, apparently as an alternative to the more long-winded ‘question mark’.

For what it’s worth, “shebang” is actually pronounced like that where I come from.
Sheboygan?

I called it Cplusplusplusplus for a while (which was the intended idea I understand: C++⁺⁺), until I heard the correct name.

In Italian @ is chiocciola which can be spiral (like a scala a chiocciola or spiral staircase) or snail shell guscio di chiocciola, or you might hear it called chiocciolina, for little snail…
