Nicknaming Whales - Voting

Giving whales nicknames on the coast of British Columbia and Washington is a longstanding tradition: Grey, Killer, Minke, and Humpback Whales are all routinely given names that are generally easier to remember than their ID numbers, and allows for a better appreciation of these creatures as unique individuals, therefor facilitating increased public interest and conservation.
Help us pick new nicknames for the whales!
