As a french guy I'd go with (d).
I've often seen "toto" used as a placeholder name, sometimes followed by "titi", "tata", "tutu", I have even used it myself. It is similar to "foo", "bar", "baz". I don't know if it is specific to France, of French speaking countries, but it is definitely a thing here.
