what shall we name him?

so my dad picked up a baby turtle on a golf course and brought him home in a water bottle - and then left him on the kitchen countertop in a tupperware container with a rock and two pieces of old sponge. however, he neglected to tell me any of this before leaving for london so I arrive home, groggy and tired, to find a turtle in a tupperware container on the countertop and my first thought is -- are we eating that? (we've had weirder centerpieces like a baby pig)

but of course we're not because it's not edible! (so embarassing to learn this after I had already placed his sweet sweet little head into my mouth)

anyway -- I was wondering if you'all have any name suggestions? my digital camera is running low on juice so I couldn't take any photos with it but here's a picture of a turtle that looks reasonably close to the unnamed one
