Badly pronounced French already exists and is called Walloon

Nah. The last time that Walloon and French were the same variety, that variety was still called "Latin". They share a lot of developments due to geographical proximity, but one is not a "bad pronounced" version of the other; and if we must label stuff as "badly pronounced", it's simply that both are badly pronounced Latin.
