What do you consider as enough to name a clone?
I got this cut a few years ago as noid from ebay. It was my first tricho. It showed up super moldy and had bugs plus the tip was smashed. The guy apologized and just sent me a couple random things instead of a refund that I asked for. I expected more mold and bugs if he sent plants. I was right. He apologized and kept saying how the lady he got this from said it was "muy toxico" and he called me brotato chip. This year is the second year it has had pups and first year it made anything decent.
I call it "brotato chip"

Personally I think a plant should be seed grown and of flowering age before being given a name for circulation. With that said everyone is free to do as they wish with their plants especially if its just a nickname for it to have in your collection.
Of course you have to call it chip
Naming is honestly only to identify a cut. If it’s a seed cross or noid, I’d say name away (unless it’s a known name) to keep track of it
I vote for brotato chip
I personally think you can name whatever, people do it anyway. Let the market decide, if a clone is cool enough the name will stick around. If the clone is irrelevant it’ll fade into another NOID. That being said I don’t think every random plant needs a name, it should be reserved for ones you find special or that have been heavily spread in the community.
I know others will disagree but even huge nursery’s name random clones all the time. If the cactus is cool or it has a cool story the name will stick
Fuck it, I’ll call it brotato chip if you send me a cutting. I will also absolutely label it with the warning ‘Muy Toxico’ to ward off any would be thieves, cac poachers, and local high school stoners looking to get high off stolen plants. Not even joking. I’ll represent

Genetics?
You could reach out to the eBay seller and double check to see if he had a name already for that cut. It may be a well known one already.
Bring it to flower, save the pollen, cross it with another flowering specimens, harvest thr seeds, grow from seed, select the 10% hardiest/most interesting seedlings, grow to sale height then name your seed batch/clone
