[video; open] operation: name that bibiru

So, uh, I could use some help.

[The video is clearly being filmed outside, and the camera is focused on a little white bibiru with a crooked wing and patch of brown fur over one eye. It is doing what bibirus do best: look cute and eat grass. Kit's voice is audible before he turns the yimo around so he can be seen by the camera.]

Help me name this damn thing.

[he points the camera back at the bibiru and whistles once to get its attention. It perks up cutely, ears and nose a-wiggle. It squeaks.]

[Miles squints at it for a moment, then says, authoritatively:] Cerberus.

[Kit looks back at Miles with a pair of raised eyebrows and a dubious expression on his face.] ...that sounds kinda ominous for such a little guy, don't you think?

It's the name of the three-headed dog guarding the underworld in Greek mythology, [Miles says brightly, doing absolutely nothing to dissuade Kit of this impression.] But the thing is, 'Cerberus' is a Romanization of the Greek 'Kerberos'...which means 'spotted'. [He snickers.] Even the god of the underworld named his dog Spot. Pretty funny, right?

Hmm...on the same general idea, though, extrapolating from that...

Kero's a good name, though. Little cute wingy rodent? Kero's perfect.

[Weeb.]

...I don't get it. But sure. [This said while smirking crookedly, because even if what Miles says doesn't make sense to Kit, at least he looks good while he's saying it.]

All right, [he goes on while scribbling the suggestion down,] looks like the consensus so far is some take on 'spot.' [He looks back at the bibiru and whistles once to get its attention.] You're gonna have more names than I do, duster.
