Come up with a name for the new character!

We are looking for a name for an official character approved by the Nagato City Ekimae-ku Shoten Renmei (Nagato City Ekimae-ku Shopping Federation). Did you know that a clione-like creature wanders into the waters off Aomi Island, one of the sightseeing spots in Nagato City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, with its beautiful scenery known as the Maritime Alps? Illustrator Shingo Ozaki, who lives in Nagato City, has created a cute character based on this creature, the Yasagata Hadakakakamegai! We are looking for a long-loved name for such a character! Why don't you think about it with us?
