Cletus

I initially misread this as Cletus, which always makes me think of two things:

1. That one character from the Simpsons:

2. The alias Cletus Van Damme used by a crooked cop (more than one?) on The Shield.

I wouldn't say either are good associations. And I'm also sure I'm not the only person who would misread Cetus as Cletus.

Independent of that, Cetus sounds a bit botanical to me, like the genus of a plant rather than the common plant name (if that makes sense).
