Default Help me name this

Hi folks, I have been growing out Not Chocolate Stripes for several years, and I think it is stable, and I love it. My friend KarenO doesn't like the not this and not that names, and she is right, so let's find a name for it.
It has PL indet. Growth, fantastically productive of medium sized fruit, almost like a multiflora beefsteak. The fruit are chocolate colored with faint striping and wonderful sweet flavor with enough acid to give you a complex flavor, not just sweet. It is smaller, fainter stripes, far more production, and PL, not RL, so it isn't Chocolate Stripes at all.
So what should we name it?

I don't have any suggestions, but it sounds like a winner for flavor.

oh girlfriend, you know me.

You found it, you name it, I kind of love the Ginger reference somehow....
Ginger stripes?
Ginger spice
Marsha’s ginger stripe
Etc etc etc

.....
I will be happy to see anything besides not chocolate stripes.
Deserves its own name! And I will be proud to write your choice of name on the tag when I plant your seeds this March.

Marsha's Pride
Marsha's Chocolate

Any name with chocolate stripes in it gives me visions of dirty laundry.

Ginger Snaps or Ginger Stripes both sound like good names... and it sounds like a great tomato! Post a picture of the beauty please!

"The fruit are chocolate colored with faint striping and wonderful sweet flavor with enough acid to give you a complex flavor, not just sweet."

I know where the Ginger part comes from, but when I think of Ginger - it doesn't make me think of the taste described above ^

Just thinking outside the box - is the color close to this in the picture? If so, that is Walnut.

It deserves a real name. I like the Ginger snaps suggestion. Or ginger snacks, even tho there are maybe a bit large to snack on?
