What about the name "Snowball"? I actually figured the French would like Orwell.

"i should write to Trivial Pursuit. can't believe i didn't think of the ones you listed, cause i know those words, and have used them before."

Yeah, they have a number of things wrong - which is a PITA when you know better and eveyone says "we go by what's on the card, smartass!".
