IMHO, unless you are pretty darn sure it's the same morph it should get a new name. Remembering that Lesser and Butter are probably (how will we ever be sure?) the same morph is way easier than keeping the two entirely different Woma ball pythons that got the same name separate. I'm no expert on the trick but if this has a distinct look and/or a different source and no evidence at all yet that it's even an allele of the same gene it should be called something different, at least until there is some evidence it’s the same. Also, people with a new line get really touchy when you try to use their name and piggyback on their marketing so new name until proven otherwise is really the way to go.
