It seems there is no pronounceable real official species beginning
with an I, like Galapagos for G?

My nomination:
::     Indigo Inagua - indigo

Short and simple enough to call.
Inagua is an island not that far away from Galapagos islands:

Iguana sounds nice but those are lizards.

-1 for everything with a comma or what can result in iTurtle. Yes,
I'll miss the Asimov reference, too.
