Marineland in Antibes, France, is looking for suggestions for naming the month old calf born to 10 year old Wikie.  This female calf is the result of artificial insemination by one of SeaWorld’s males, probably Ulises, and although she is the first calf born to a very young mother she seems to be doing well.  Wikie’s own mother, Shakan, was an excellent mother and successfully raised calves before succumbing to an eye infection and dying in 2009 in her early 20’s – and usually the young females learn parenting skills from their mothers, much like we do.  Born and raised in captivity, Wikie is able to help the calf in that environment (as opposed to wild-caught orcas who have had very limited success in rearing offspring in captivity).
To suggest a name, just go to their facebook page, you will have to “like” them then you can comment. It is in french but all you have to do is hit the comment icon as usual and enter your suggestions, make sure you are on the entry that says Grand Jeu : Proposez un prénom pour le bébé orque de Wikie .  My french is rusty, but from what I can decipher, you have until April 26th to make your suggestions. Another peaceful protest-
Mine are:
Bebe d’enfant (baby from a child, since her mother was impregnated when she was way too young, in the wild orcas are not known to have calves this young).
Bonne Chance (good luck)
Conscience de soi (self aware – maybe saying this name will remind people that these animals are self aware and shouldn’t be kept in captivity)
Gold Mine (that is what she is to the industry)
