What's the name of the parent parent compound?

With cyclic ketones the C=O is always at the 1 position, but after that do you want to minimize the position of the double bond, or the substituents?
Individual results may vary

Would it be: 5-Chloro-5-methyl-cyclopent-2-enone ?

I usually see this as 2-cyclopenten-1-one, but the rest is right
