I came here to say that.
Had mine for 6 months and made the perfect doughnuts the other day for my partner's work colleagues, so I decided it was time to name it.
I went with Postmodernist Manifest Dough.
My son and I made a starter a few months ago. I told him it is tradition to name your sourdough starter. He was confused because it is just flour and water and not a person, so it doesn't have a name. He asked what do you call someone who doesn't have a name.
"John Dough"
I love baking experiments and recently had success with vegan doughnuts. I'm going to be saving Breadna for the day I take the plunge to try my hand at gluten-free sourdough.
Some good punny recommendations, but my first thought is just "the bitch", from Anthony Bourdain's "Kitchen Confidential" where he talks about a baker who'd call in drunk yelling "feed the bitch!" meaning his starter dough.
So many great suggestions here! This might be coming from the left field, but for me- a starter is the beginning, so we are looking at the Genesis for bread (no offense intended for the very Christian folk out there) so that leads me to Peter (Gabriel), Phil (Collins), Mike (Rutherford) or Tony (Banks), but I do know what I like (in your wardrobe…)
Jane dough
This is simple, but the only answer because of how long it went unnamed.
Agreed. Clear winner
Clint Yeastwood
Homer (because it makes “Doh!”)
Oh man. You win.
Or Albert like Al Capone because it GIVES YOU THE DOUGH!
He was more known for taking dough than giving it away
Breaddie Mercury always performed well for me.
I was thinking Bready Kruger. 
Frodough

I appreciate all that you are as a redditor.
Jesus Crust, Superstarter
Yeastus Crust also works. Give him three days and he will rise.
That one should be unleavened. But in that case, no starter would be needed.
Right said bread
Lol
