Okay, for a name I'm thinking Verum.

It comes from the latin name for one species of cinnamon tree, Cinnamomum verum. I want to come up with a name that starts with "V" since I have sort of a pattern going on with having two animals with names that start with the same letter. Ziggy - Zara, Tikva - Tarnish, Van der Waals - ?

I'm not sure though. Any other ideas?
