Just for reference: octopus comes from the greek synthetic word ΞΏΟΟΞ±ΟΟδι which literally means ΞΏΟΟΞ±=eight ΟΟδι=leg and by combining the two words it refers to something with eight legs.. the old greek word α½ΞΊΟΞ¬ΟΞΏΟ
Ο can also be found, although never heard it used, is similar in hearing with the english word octapus but with the tone on 'a'.
At the end, you can name it whatever you like... how about inktapus? : )

Ocotopia! I love this, probably mostly because it's symetrical. And I like it when things are perfect
