help me name, not ID, this plant

Antrim, Northern Ire, United Kingdom(Zone 8b)

I found this color variant of Ranunculus ficaria almost 2 weeks ago. I sent samples of it's leaves to the guy who hold the national collection and he says I must name it asap. I just cant think what to name it.

can you help? it has to be a serious name that will go onto file as the plant will soon be in the national collection. look at the colors especially the red stripe and think. Hopefully when I wake up tomorrow there will a name I like or at least some names for me to work on.

thanks

Ahh Mark One is good but I understand its thought rather conceited to use one's own name for a plant.

Since the leaves are varigated, how about " Dark Knight's Varigated"?

Baa you are correct.
when I wanted to call my snowdrop 'Marks Tall' I was told no way and had to choose another name.
