When is it mine to name?

understated plagiarism can be a very valuable thing- for example, I recently read a ripped copy of catcher in the rye, the only difference being that the protagonist was named CAUlden HOfield, and the book was surprisingly like a ten times better read. My father once said "you only get to name it if comes from your wife's VJ," but take that with a grain of salt, since that guy my not actually be my dad...

It is yours as soon as you brew it. If you feel you must give your source some credit, then go ahead, but you get top billing.
