I'm not into naming individual pipes; beyond something earth-shatteringly creative like "pipe number 5", I don't have much to offer. If you're interested in naming the shape, I think it's a bit too indistinct to have a name at this point. Maybe if you made a few more and focused on some lines you might want to emphasize you could do so. Right now, I guess you could call it a "sitting acorn", but I'm not sure that's helpful to most people.

I like it. It has a certain je ne sais quoi.

How about meat on a stick? The bowl is very amorphic. If it had better definition, it has potential to be a tankard. Your shank work is pretty decent. Keep at it.

Suppose you could call it Pedrito . . . as long as you call it SOLD!
