Help me name this Simian Robot!!

So Ajax just bought a new mech/tech droid for the Talon. He knows it will do a good job for he and his crew. But he is troubled...

"But what should I name him?" Ajax understood that the greatness of a droid can often come down to how well the name suits it. Should it be descriptive of his look, or of his function? Pop Culture based? or catchy serial number style?

Finally, he had an idea -

"Shut up everyone, do you want to hear my idea or not?"

...

"So what are we talking about, naming this droid, what do you have for me?"

YOU SAID YOU HAD AN IDEA

"My idea was to crowdsource ideas..."

...

So anyway, yeah. Let me have some names. Also, any feedback on the figure itself. I made it using BAD torso/head/upper legs, plus BAD R2 front legs, plus a modified set of mech arms from a McQuarrie R2. I really like the ape-like vibe it gives, and expect the names to somehow invoke that.

Or Prime-8.

Since he's got a tail ape names wouldn't technically be appropriate, but he's a robot so who cares.

LOOK AT THE BIG BRAIN ON DAN!

yeah, I'm going for a certain feel, not biological accuracy.

KiKo, short for KIng KOng...

Dee-K (short for D.K. aka Donkey Kong) Would work if it is a cobbled together type robot from spare parts. Also could be 'decay'...

thanks for the ideas, keep them coming. What of the robot himself? does it work?

Also, I'm going to say I've decided this much. I want him to have a gimmicky letter based name, like most of these ideas have been so far. I think he needs it. However, no matter what his technical name is, Ajax is always going to call him Clyde. That one nails the way this character would treat this robot. Nice job Dusty.

But the serial number type name. Still up for grabs.
