Day 2: Every Day Is a Froyo Day

Sure, it was in the mid-40s, cloudy and slightly drizzly, but I wasn't going to let the weather stop me from my frozen-yogurt challenge. To me, there's never a better day for froyo than today.
So on I soldiered, and a mere 10 minutes later, I'd reached my destination dry and intact. My experience today was even better than it was yesterday, especially owing to the adorable black lab I got to pet on my way back to work. Dogs are possibly my favorite things in the world, and I'd venture to say I love doggies the way most people love babies.
Also today, I learned that when I reach my 30-days, the flavor they'll name after me will be newly created. How exciting!
My brain started buzzing, and so far, I've come up with two possibilities: a caramel-flavored yogurt called Caramelanie and a chipotlé-chocolate yogurt whose name I can't figure out.
Now, I'm in love with chipotlé chocolate--it's one of my favorite flavors of frozen treats (or brownies, cakes, etc.). Anyone who knows me knows how much I lurrrrrve spicy foods--I put cayenne pepper in anything from cottage cheese to smoothies. But if I can't figure out a good name, how can I turn that flavor into a reality?
Enter Caramelanie. I'm not really a huge fan of caramel, but the name is perfect; it just rolls off the tongue. That's about the only positive thing I can say about that.

Maybe I'm getting a little presumptuous, counting all my yogurts before they've even been eaten. But I never go into a situation unprepared if I can help it. So what's a froyo lover to do in such a quandary? Any ideas?
