It is Cherokee for “wise sage”. The whale carries with it the knowledge of life’s survival. I am part Cherokee and am reminded,as a Native American, of my wise ancestors who lived in harmony with nature..their respect of the all wildlife and their honor to each even those they needed for their own survival.

If it is a female, Princess Lea would be nice :D because she was a warrior princess for her planet. In this case, the whale is a warrior for fighting the japanese and the climate changes. Also, if it is a male, Luke Skywalker. Because it sounds cool and strong, and as well as princess Lea, his sister, hi fights for his beliefs. The whale fights for what she needs in order to survive.

hope -belief in a positive outcome related to events and circumstances in one’s life. Hope implies a certain amount of perseverance -is often the result of faith in that while hope is an emotion, faith carries a divinely inspired and informed form of positive belief. Hope is typically contrasted with despair, but despair may also refer to a crisis of faith

“The Duchess of Plankton” if it’s a female or “The Duke of Plankton” if it’s a Male. Whales are real nobles and belong to the royalty of the seas. And as they live in the seas and there basic feeding comes from plankton, what better name than this.
