My favourite example of a straight-to-the-point animal name:
There's a species of turtles. Goofy looking fellas with big heads. So what are they called? Big-headed turtles. OK, but surely the Latin name is sensible? No, it's megacephalum. Totally a band name.
"Hey, this turtle looks kinda like it's got a snake for a neck, what should we call it"
