The choice of which card to name is part of the resolution of the spell or ability which puts Booby Trap onto the battlefield. It can’t be countered.

2005-08-01wotc

If an effect causes the player to draw multiple cards, each card is revealed as it’s drawn. If Booby Trap’s ability triggers, it will go on the stack once the card-drawing effect has concluded.

2005-08-01wotc

If Booby Trap’s last ability is countered, Booby Trap remains on the battlefield (and no damage is dealt).
