I desember 2018 sluttførte [[Rainforest Trust]] en auksjon om navngivningsrettighetene for tolv nyoppdagede søramerikanske plante- og dyrearter,{{refn|name=nyt|1=https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/06/science/species-naming-auction-rainforest-trust.html}} der inntektene skulle gå til beskyttelsen av artenes habitat. Selskapet EnviroBuild betalte {{formatnum:25000}} [[Amerikansk dollar|dollar]] for rettigheten til å navngi det nye amfibiet.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.rainforesttrust.org/species-legacy-auction-is-a-resounding-win-for-wildlife-conservation/|title=Species Legacy Auction is a Resounding Win for Wildlife Conservation|last=Antram|first=Alex|date=|work=[[Rainforest Trust]]|access-date=8. desember 2018|accessdate=2018-12-21|archivedate=2019-04-15|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20190415215513/https://www.rainforesttrust.org/species-legacy-auction-is-a-resounding-win-for-wildlife-conservation/|url-status=yes}}</ref>

Aidan Bell, eier av EnviroBuild, sa at han valgte å oppkalle organismen etter Trump for å øke bevisstheten om Trumps politikk vedrørende [[klimaendring]]er og farene hans politikk utgjør for mange arters overlevelse. Bell sa 

:''«It is the perfect name. Caecilian is taken from the Latin ''caecus'', meaning 'blind', perfectly mirroring the strategic vision President Trump has consistently shown towards climate change.»<ref name="guardian">{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/dec/18/blind-amphibian-named-after-trumps-climate-change-stance|title=Blind creature that buries head in sand named after Donald Trump|last=Carrington|first=Damian|date=18. desember 2018|work=[[The Guardian]]|access-date=18. desember 2018}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.envirobuild.com/blogs/articles/donald-trump-amphibian|title=EnviroBuild name an amphibian in honour of Donald Trump's commitment to environmental issues.|last=Bell|first=Aidan|date=18. desember 2018|work=EnviroBuild|access-date=18. desember 2018}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/421934-blind-amphibian-that-buries-head-in-sand-named-after-trump|title=Blind amphibian that buries head in sand named after Trump|last=Daughtery|first=Owen|date=18. desember 2018|work=[[The Hill (newspaper)|The Hill]]|access-date=18. desember 2018}}</ref>

Bell hevdet også å se en parallell mellom artens evne til å bare se lys og mørke, og at Trump var bare i stand til å se verden i svart og hvitt. Ifølge ''[[Washington Post]]'' var navnevalget åpenbart foretatt for å ramme og gjøre narr av president Trump.<ref name="wapo">{{cite news |title=A blind, wormlike amphibian that burrows underground has been named after Donald Trump |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2018/12/19/blind-worm-like-amphibian-that-buries-its-head-underground-has-been-named-after-donald-trump/ |accessdate=20. desember 2018 |date=19. desember 2018}}</ref>
