I kinda like the sound of it for the whale… i dunno it just popped into my head after reading the words Great Whale Trail. i think it would be a nice name for a whale, especially if it travels the world over. =)

Jiuna Ryu

Which means `Free Dragon` in Japanese. I wanted to add `Ocean` but the name was then a bit long.

I hope you like the name and choose it for one of the mystical (being that we dont know enough about them - hence dragon - and free because of the gift you are giving them of protection!)

Nancy Sue - my mother, who was such a knowledgeable, wise and loving person recently passed away from a short battle with lung cancer. A teacher at a local NSW high school, she touched many a students lives with her wisdom and wit! Mom also loved swimming, and the beach - not a summer went by where we didnt visit the ocean, even though we lived on a farm in country Australia.

KAI. I think its a great name for a whale, because its a musculin name, for a masculin wahle. It means ocean. The origin of the name is Hawaiian.
