I dont like the names that you tell me. If you had told me to choose a name for whale a name that I want i would choose the name CHE because for me the name CHE means: friend, partner, brother, fighter for life.

Kaan, it means lord, king, ruler in Turkish. Like lions as kings of jungles, may the whale which takes this name, be ruler of the oceans… Originally it’s Kağan, but the Turkish character “ğ” can make a bit trouble. You can use “Kaan”…
