What's another name for thesaurus?
synonymnovel ?

Nice try! But perhaps "synonymaurus" would be closer? :-)

Since neither are real words they are equally close.
The Americans keep inventing new words all the time, so why shouldn't an Australian, eh? My word "synonymaurus" is now an official word and it means the alternate word for "thesaurus", OK? It should appear in the next edition of the Macquarie Dictionary - and if not, I'll start asking questions!
Besides, IMO, it isn't successful humor when you use part of the question (aurus)
"aurus"....never heard of it, but if I just created a new word - well ahead of the Yanks! :-) - then you are entitled to create "aurus".
in the humorous response...especially when that part has no meaning in and of itself. :-)
My other choice was to go with a pun...as in "cinnamonovel".
