I think you have a male Eastern Painted Turtle. They are used in this area for making rattles or fancy carrying pouches for reenactors of the French and Indian War. They are also used by Southern Woodland Indian pow-wow groups. May I suggest the name Loksi or Luksi Luk. Bryanna is Native American and those the words for turtle.
