Heyy,

After Kim Kardashian and Kanye West decided to give their daughter the name "North West" it got me thinking about unusual humorous animal and plant names, both common and latin.  after a brief spell on Google here are some of the best that I've found (for the full lists see http://www.curioustaxonomy.net/index.html ) :

Agra cadabra
Carmenelectra shechisme
Kamera lens
Ytu brutus
Colon rectum
Balbaroo fangaroo
Wakiewakie
Doris
Gekko gecko
Campsicnemius charliechaplini
Albunea groeningi (named after Matt Groening)
Draculoides bramstokeri 
Preseucoila imallshookupis
Agra schwarzeneggeri
Aptostichus angelinajolieae
