I don't think "iced" would be good because there are already ice corns (lava aneries). Speckled would be bad because when someone comes up with a compltely speckled corn, they deserve that name, and there'll be a conflict. I haven't seen your's, but it could be a hybrid OR it may not be frosted enough to be worthy of a new name. Likewise, do you know if it's a heritable trait? It may not be. I recall a guy that named a line of corns because SOME of them had a black dot above the eyes. Needless to say, that morph didn't catch on. A guy in Vegas once named a corn "pie bald" because it hatched with a white patch on it about the size of a pea. He actually took deposits for its future babies. Even though the snake had a kinked spine right where the white spot was and it died before it was even six months old. It's not wise to name any morph until you have a few generations to see what their potential is.
