I think that ‘POLA’ is a beautiful, short & recognizable name for a whale, besides it’s the name of my daughter as well.

Vega Vega was the name of the best man I’ve ever met, a man who always did his best for helping others and who loved this world more than anything else. He died two weeks ago, and I think there couldn’t be a better way to pay homage to his memory than calling a whale after him. Vega is also the name of one of the brightest stars in the sky, placed the constellation Lyra. I really think this would be an extremely beautiful name for a whale.

“BARIŞ”

My suggestion is “BARIŞ” which means “PEACE” in Turkish. we need peace and goodness. and these animals and plants, all nature has peace and goodness.I hope these whales bring us peace and goodness which they have all time but we don’t have generally.

NARADA. Narada is portrayed as a travelling monk with the ability to visit distant worlds. He is regarded as the ultimate nomad who roams heaven, earth and nether-world. He does this to find out about the life and welfare of people. Narada also considered a partial-manifestation/avatar of God, empowered to perform miraculous tasks on God’s behalf.

Lilith was, so it is an old legend, the first woman, the first wife of Adam. She was made like the man, and not like eva, out of him. The Iquality between Adam and Lilith made Adam angry, he wants to be the “boss”- I think thats like the mankind and the whales. But Lilith was a strong woman- thats like a Whale-Woman must be!!!

ARJUNA. Arjuna is one of the heroes of the Hindu epic Mahabharata.He was a master archer and played a central role in the conflict between the Pandavas and their adversaries. Arjuna is depicted as a wholesome and well-rounded personality, a healthy mind in a healthy body, a person whom any mother, wife and friend would cherish and be proud of. But it is as a warrior that Arjuna is best known.

Justin -

I wish a name for a whale would be Justin, because it is the name of my 21 year old brother. He loves whales and I am quite sure that if he only could he would be out there to protect them. My brother is severly handicapped since a food poisoning at the age of 5. He loves animals and follows the greenpeace activities with great interest.

Hello,

I am a Greenpeacemember in Munich Germany and I know its a bit tacky, but I imagine a whale called “Harry” as quite intriguing. It happens to be my name also, but this is not the main motivation, although I would be quite flattered. However, I hope I can give my name to a whale. May he live long and prosper by whatever name he might swim. Thank you for your time and above all your work. best regards harry blank
