Analogous Name For Aussie's Mascot

AFP reports that Australia has started a competition to pick a new name for kangaroo meat. See, to many Australians, eating kangaroo is about like Americans eating Bald Eagle. So the Kangaroo Industry Association of Australia is trying to find a more palatable name (bad pun intended).

People in charge of selling kangaroo steaks and what-not point out that a slice of cow or pig on a plate is called by a nicer sounding name. So why not kangaroo?
