The three of them made a new friend;

Before (s)he can make his/her big debut on a Merit Badge, (s)he needs a cool new moniker.
First, I'm pretty sure this is a turtle — well, according to National Geographic, they're all turtles:
How To Tell A Turtle From A Tortoise 
So there's that, which leaves the question.
What is Her/His name?
A Bit Of A Simple, Quick Contest To Help Me Out. Tell Me His/Her Name!!
He/She can be a girl/boy – or gender-neutral, your choice. 
The name should be original. 
Not something like "Yertle the Turtle". Myrtle the Turtle is similarly disqualified – too easy, and there is a Myrtle the Turtle living at the New England Aquarium.
It need not be an actual name; a descriptor like Pub Bunny or Grumpy Leprechaun works! 
To facilitate him/her eventually adorning a Merit Badge, the name should be under 23 characters. 
Funny is Better!
