It shouldn't be Mr Splashy Pants. It should be Mr Splashy Pants Esq. Whales deserve brevity.

Suprised "Bumi" hasn't had more support, and mystified that "Jade Goody" doesn't appear at all.

No surprise that "Mister Splashy Pants" is well up front, all the other names are pretty pretentious.

What's wrong with Dave or Steve?

 

[Tetedelacourse]

I've met some pretentious Steves in my time.

I've met some pretentious Steves in my time.

And Daves don't bear thinking about.

Reminds me of that Vic Reeves line;

"Name a breed of dog."

"Alsatian"

"No, sorry, it was West Highland Terrier..."

I wouldn't want to give a whale a name. How do we know that it doesn't already have a name given to it by its parents?
