Custom HPF pedal name ideas?

I just e-mailed Dan at 4114 Effects in the UK, to quote a simple custom HPF that I plan to use in my small practice space. Unfortunately I cannot get my hands on an fdeck (he doesn't ship to Europe, and you can't get them used), so I'll have it build, without the pre, with just a sweep and a gain knob. Of course your ideas (for example whether it makes sense to eliminate the phase switch, as I don't play acoustic) are welcome.

I plan to leave enclosure type and design totally up to him. But I wonder if I could supply some cool name ideas, to maybe help with the design concept.

So here goes nothing: thoughts for a good pedal name?
A UK company doesn't ship to Europe??
The UK is in Europe.
So you are after a high pass filter?
A Wah kind of thing?
fdeck?

No, no, no. I wanted to order an fdeck from the US, but he doesn't ship to Europe. So I asked for a quote from a custom pedal builder from the UK, who will gladly ship to Switzerland.

By the way, a big thank you to the TBers who already offered in PM to relay it at cost. :) You guys are awesome.

Aahhh. Now I get it! :)
Here's another custom pedal guy...there's a diy side to it too with quite a few interesting things on show.

Bookmarked. And she's around the corner, in Germany! Love the design of her tube OD:

Quick update: Dan (the custom pedals builder) came back from a trip, contacted me, and we exchanged a few e-mails. He was very friendly and patient through my 250 questions, sent me a very reasonable quote (£80 for the build, £10-£15 for the custom graphics + shipping) and a very reasonable time-estimate. I think we'll go for sillyfabe's "You shall not pass" name suggestion, with some Gandalf graphics on it. I'll let Dan surprise me.

Here are some other pedals he did recently:

Faux Tone Machine (clone of the Foxx Tone Machine with switchable octave up effect...I guess the lack of labels is an homage to the original...)

Hydradrive (a twin overdrive/boost with a gazillion settings)

Really cool stuff in Invalid Link Removed (I'm not affiliated with him at all, but I thought he's got some cool stuff, in particular for those of us on this side of the Atlantic, that I could share with you folks).
