...Rah-rah-ah-ah-ah-ah! Roma-roma-mamaa! I want your bad advice!
I'm sure this is going to sound completely Gaga, but I need your imaginative suggestions.
As usual, I needed an application for a given purpose, but couldn't find one I liked that could do what I wanted in the way I wanted it done. So I started rolling my own.
It's basically a tool application that does acts of unspeakble horror to PDF files (such as split, merge, add/edit/delete pages etc - Yeah I know, plenty of those around, but as I mentioned, I want to do it myself).
HOWEVA! I need a fun and catchy name for the application, something that partly describes what it does, but is also on the fun side.
Observe: I posted this in the Lounge, not the soapbox to rule out certain suggestions - So "PeDoFile Manager" for instance is out. Darn! Now I said it myself - but at least you get what I mean now, right?
So to cut to the chase: What would you call it?

Many (very many) years ago i was working on a new mainframe system and came across the source code for a very useful print utility, called "Fang". There was a long comment section at the beginning which explained the code and how it worked etc. Then right at the end it said "I couldn't think what to call this program so I named it after my cat".

This made me chuckle.
Now I will have this one image in my brain for the rest of the day.

If it is a file manager (FM) then it should be called "ArtieFM"

WFFEE - worst file-format ever editor
If it can convert a PDF to something like docx, then a "PDF format corrector" would be appropriate.

Never have been; it's an annoying format that survives on marketing, not on technical merits.

PDFBreak, the ultimate tool to break down (always) and reassemble (hopefully) your PDF files.
Seems to be not used so far (while the more Soapbox related name with strip does).

A variant of RickZeeland's[^], PD-Effer or PDF'r
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Not bad at all. Or maybe some word game on the "Acrobat" name?
