Haha, how bout this name:
Size matters?
The question mark is definitely part of the name
Only in the "before" picture.I think it was twenty feet long and pretty skinny.
It may have started 20 feet long and 6 inches in diameter.A guy at Midwest Power one year built a rocket with that name as his level 3 cert attempt. Sadly, it came in ballistic from (supposedly) 15,000 feet. I think it was twenty feet long and pretty skinny. Either 4" or 6" diameter, flying on an N motor.
OOHH, we could just name it Vlad. Subtle, not ostentatious and pointy like certain teeth.The Roller Coaster!
(but my favorite so far is the "Impaler" - just about the most innapropriate one yet)
We had Special High Intensity Training that we would give to the troops when they screwed up.reminds me of a story I heard from an old engineer of the Super High Intensity Transport

Air Force used to have two pilots training tracks. Academy grads could get waivers for uncorrected vision in two flavors, 20/50 or better and 20/100 to just over 20/50 (both treks required CORRECTED vision to be 20/20.). The first qualification was called TARF (Trainer, Attack, Recon, Fighter), the second TTB (Transport, Tanker,Bomber.)Here is Seattle, the bright bulbs behind the streetcar into the South Lake Union neighborhood decided to name it a trolley without checking the acronym. They published the name and plans, got made fun of, and quickly changed it to the “South Lake Union Streetcar”. A decade or so later, a local store still sells “Ride the SLUT” T shirts.
A Blastocyst rocket would be cool. A clear pink plastic sphere with a penetrating spermatazoa tail for stability. A nice DNA strand shock cord and nucleus chute inside.
Clarifying OP:
Just for fun, in a cart before the horse kind of way, and also help to spark some scratch build creativity; how about we hear some terrible rocket names as inspiration for new builds, anyone interested can provide their physical interpretation, OR model, or RS model to capture the essence of the name. Anyone game?

I had a rocket I had built for my Ex wife
It had a great name. She cheated on me, left and divorced me.
Years later I got it out of the attic, repainted it and new name: DAMAGE
OK, but how about "It looked good on paper"? That'd be a good bad name too.Name for a rocket:
