Help me name this monster!

capri0mniI've created a new Chimera of my very own! And I think it's adorable (if I say so myself) and I want to put it on a bunch of Zazzle products. But before I can sell anything with it, Zazzle wants me to name it. And that's where I'm stumped.
The name I've given it in my own files is "tetra-butterfly," But that only really works for me, and I may want to create another four-beast chimera with butterfly wings sometime in the future. So: Help?
Caption/visual description: detailed line drawing in black ink of a monster with the hind body of a frog, the forelegs of a raptor, the head and tail of a rabbit, and the wings and antennae of a butterfly. The monster is "perched," and looking back at the viewer.
And here's the "action shot":
Caption/visual description: Same creature, also drawn in black pen, in flight, veiwed from above. The forelegs are hidden, and the hind legs are stretched out behind.
Should I combine (or string together) the Latin names from taxonomy classes (Lepidopteran Lepus Rana Aves)? Or do the same with English (Butterfly Bunny Froggy Bird)? Or do something Seussian, and make up a nonsense name? Should I just give it a "Christian" (air quotes) name, like Harold, or Mary-Lou?
Halp?
