What would you name this dude Cichlid

Post image

I don't normally name my fish but lately, after 16 years in the hobby, I've decided this guy is regal enough to require a name. Any suggestions?

He might not be able, but deep down, his tummy still has the rumblies.

I've never named my fish. Even though I don't want them to die it's less upsetting for me if they do and I haven't named them. I just call them my fishies.
