I had to look psychopomps up, thanks Chris, I learned something new today.  I initially took 'he who opens the way' in a buddhist sense, which would be cool, but Wepwawet was actually more scout-for-the-military sort of God.

Check the mythology for Nandi, that's not too bad either.

So, if I named it after Mr Pete, they catholics would probably hang me.
If I name it 'Garmies', the Mormons will.
If I name it 'Maat' I would probably get away with it;

Maat is the Egyptian god of justice, who's feather would be weighed against one's heart upon death; and who ancient judges and even gods would seek approval.

It's also unique enough that I don't think there'll be a name collision.  So Maat it will be?

Now to keep working on Walnut.  : p
