You can coin a neologism if you can’t find an existing word.
onomato- is a prefix that is often used to mean word or name felic- is a prefix that means happy ortho- can mean correct, but also straight
So maybe orthonomatofelicity?
Probably too long.
Maybe just onomatofelicity?
There are other roots you can find with similar meanings to mix up your own neologism.

The adjectival form is "felicitous". (fe-LI-si-tus)
