how to name an anteater

 Alice has a new stuffie - a perfectly lovely anteater. She wanted help finding a name. So she googled "anteater names" and got a bunch from various zoos (another thing no one could dream of doing when I was young). 

I think free association may be the way to go so I start talking to myself in the car. 

It can't start with A - no alliterative names allowed

 

what is their latin family name? Edentata - no teeth, how about Eden, Edie, Edith, Edward, Edmund... Edmund Fitzgerald, how about just Fitzgerald? Fitz, Fritz! Fritz, Fritz, Fritz and Fritz - present present present present with an explanation linoleum, that Fritz, never there when you need him...
