As ~ enters the battlefield, name a card.
Cards with the chosen name don’t cause abilities to trigger.
Does this card do anything with the current wording? If not, is there a way to word it?
Say I named Thragtusk.
My opponent has Counterbalance. Does Counterbalance trigger when I cast Thragtusk?
Do I gain life when Thragtusk enters the battlefield?
If they kill my Thragtusk, do I get a Beast token?
Torpor Orb is the closest thing I can think of but it deals with a very specific situation. I want the named card to not trigger other abilities or have its own triggered.

Oh, what's that you say, Karn? You remove poison counters? You should tell that to Mr. Rosewater.
Reading Torpor Orb the phrase "<events> don't cause abilities to trigger." does not expect an object or class of objecs for the parameter <events>, but a class of events, so it's hard to use it as reference.
If you could be more specific with the kind of triggered ability you could easily list them e. g. "Cards and permanents with the chosen name chaning zones and spells with the chosen name being cast don't cause abilities to trigger." That's plenty, but does not include attack triggers etc.
As you can probably tell from the above example as well it is important to differentiate between the three states many/most(?) objects can have: Card, spell and permanent. You probably need to meniton all three if you want to cover both Counterbalance (spell) and Thragtusk (permanent & potentially a token copy rather than a "card").

Planar Chaos was not a mistake neither was it random. You might want to look at it again.

Finally a good white villain quote: "So, do I ever re-evaluate my life choices? Never, because I know what I'm doing is a righteous cause."
