I recommend Trismegistus (reference: in Tristram Shandy, to combat the misfortune of the doctor breaking the newborn's nose during birth, along with the mistake that happened at Tristram's conception, Walter Shandy decides that the baby should have a very good name. Unfortunately for him, it's an obscure enough name that the priest, in his absence, decides that the name is probably Tristram---the name that Walter hated most).
Or, perhaps you should give it a name from a dystopian novel? Or something from HHGTG? Unless you want to highlight contrast by going with a fantasy novel/movie name.
