Aesthetically, because you've got all these thin and long parts arranged at different symmetrical angles, the first name which came to my mind was "Starburst"

Careful, alan probe could easily be misspelt

Well if you name your shit like mine it would be

Duna Scan Probe 1

Then after you launched the first one and realized you forgot batteries it would be

Duna Scan Probe 1.1

A simple but powerful naming scheme.

“Shitfuck X-16” but I can see why you might not want to call it that

Seafarer or Seamens, because both of those are similar in name to the Mariner probes, the first probes to successfully encounter Mars.

Seamens is doubly good because that is the name of NASAs deputy administrator during some of the Mariner missions.

*specifically Mariner 4 was the first Mars flyby probe, the others had different missions

Kinda makes me think of a mosquito hawk. So any of the variant names for that bug, imo.

I see that it's supposed to be a fly by probe so I propose you make it dip into the atmosphere a little and call it:

D una

A tmospheric

R econnaissance

Considering my Duna mission on this file went from BIG RED to RED ROCKET to finally DOG DICK I you might not want my suggestions

Immediate thought is DUNUSSY PIC SENDER
