I think a great name for a whale is: Galgy. For me, I would most likely chose this name because it sound ‘calm’, for me. And also the word “gal” come from “girl”. I hope the whale population will be just like our human girls population - keep increasing. Because I don’t hope to see that there is no more whale for my children or grandchildren to enjoy the Mother Nature.

Freedom o better Libertad, in spanish, my language. I think it’s a good name for an animal and special from one who lives in the enormous, open and blue sea.

“Aglaia” In the Greek Mythology she is one of the three Graces. This name is perfect for a whale, swimming in the ocean, elegant and fascinating.

Snodplank - Not Snod’Grass’ because that would be for land animals. A whale is at sea - so ‘plank’ (short for ‘plankton’).
