To solve all the dilemma, right from Marshall Kirk McKusick's (the copyright holder on the BSD Daemon artwork) mouth: "Many folks have asked about the BSD daemon's name. Contrary to a myth first started by some advertising droid at Walnut Creek, the daemon's name is NOT Chuck. He is very proud of the fact that he does not have a name, he is just the BSD daemon. If you insist on a name, call him beastie."
