I love it!
I don't think he needs a different name, though, does he? -- Your 2x3 Gonk
is much closer to the "real" Gonk than your 2x4 Gonk is? According to the
book droids book[1], Gonk's legs are equidistant from his front & back.
(But the book isn't necessarily canon -- I think in Ep4 the legs are a bit
further back -- and this is how he looks in _Trooper_Clerks_ as well.)
