"The frying pan".
The name has an old, proud assotiation, though in the electric guitar world...

It looks to me like what the Cigar Box Guitar folks call a Cookie Tin Banjo, except that it's made of wood. The body is of very similar dimensions to a vintage wooden cheese box

So I would call it a "Cheese Box Ukulele/Banjo"

I second the Cheesbox name. Cigar Box Nation has a 1930's Popular Mechanics article with a cheese box guitar.

Ukuleles come in different shapes and sizes, so calling it a baritone ukulele wouldn't be wrong. Depending on how you tune it, you could also call it a short scale tenor guitar.

What's wrong with "Sally" (or "Fred" depending on gender)?
