(+) Yeah! (+)

It's a unicorn. You know it, I know it, anyone who sees it knows it.

But these animals are not scientifically documented. Obviously it will be assigned a scientific name but it is up to you to give them their actual name that people will use.

Do you call it a unicorn, or do you troll humanity by giving it some other name?

Uh, that's pretty much the opposite of how it actually works. At most, you'd get to choose it's scientific name. But as for the common name, people are just going to call it what they choose to and what catches on will get accepted. Which is going to be unicorn, regardless of whatever you say.
