I’ve always wanted a name with “ghoti” in it. But, lack a clever idea.

**ghoti-erman?  
Kingghotier?  
ghoti ing pole?**

I like the English pronunciation reference, but could really care less about fishing. So, not really suggestions, but maybe something to start with.

Also, is there a **Turd Ferguson** registered? Cause if there isn’t, there should be.
