I wanted to call it 'lamb' because it was so weak it was like sending a 'lamb to be slaughtered', my friend wanted to call it 'chop' because it liked to chop (capture) pieces: and so it became lambChop. This is funny because lambChop is also the name of a famous puppet which is somehow appropriate.
