Oh man, this is SUCH a difficult question. I imagine that a research team would collectively name the species - maybe with priority going to the person who actually caught/found the holotype specimen, or to the person who spent the most time describing it.  

If I were to discover a new species and name it, I would totally either be one of those people who spends literal years researching latin declensions and words to find the perfect descriptive name that also sounds cool

OR

I would be that person who doesn’t take it seriously and names it a pun or something equally ridiculous because I Am A Scientist I Do What I Want even though it would be hard to follow up such excellent contenders such as

• Pieza pi, P. rhea, P. deresistans, P. kake
  
• Ba humbugi
  
• Agra vation
  
• Gelae baen, G. fish, G. donut, G. belae
  
• Apopyllus now
  
• Heerz lukenatcha
  
• Notamacropus
  
• Ytu brutus
