Mr. Splashy Pants is a weird name

The names you think are "beautiful" are utterly forgettable to the rest of the world and will draw no attention whatsoever to the plight of whales. If you would lose your ego and New Age mantras for a second and think about this logically, wouldn't you rather let the whale be named Mr. Splashy Pants and get some attention from the internet community towards the plight of whales? No, you'd rather stroke your ego and hang onto your elitism than actually mobilize help for the causes you supposedly support. No wonder you're probably an ineffective leader and will never accomplish anything of substance.

If you have a problem with the name Mr Splashy Pants you clearly take yourself way too seriously. All those other names are incredibly boring and pretentious (with the exception of Humphrey, which is just boring).

Even if for some ridiculous reason you don't like the name Mr Splashy Pants then you have to at least admit that it has the potential to bring more attention and support to the cause that the vote was in aid of. If that still doesn't convince you, then you have clearly become so arrogant and pretentious as to forget the whole reason for your being arrogant and pretentious in the first place.

Now, I must admit, voting for another name would be a fair expression of a valid personal opinion and free speech. But I simply can't imagine how anyone with the smallest sense of humour could possibly prefer something so bland and tacky as any of the other options.

Another vote for mr spashy pants

It may have been a joke, but I think it's a great way to get people to pay attention. "They" say that we don't have a sense of humor, and this article is fodder for right-wing ridicule.

Smile. The whale doesn't give a rat's ass what its name is, and no one outside the movement would care about any name other than Mr Splashy Pants.

"At TreeHugger we know that variety is the spice of life..." - TreeHugger

Now it seems that TreeHugger is being a bit closed minded about the spice of life they approve of. So let me see if i got this right.

Deep meaning in another language = OK

Light hearted in English = Not OK

Where's the spice of life in that?

I think Mister Splashy Pants will play fine internationally. In fact, it will play better than the other choices that sound more like the name for "Whale Nigiri Sushi" than Mr Splashy Pants.

Who DOESN'T want to hear and see a serious french news announcer go "Monsieur Splashy Pants" when reporting on this?

Or Gore talk about the plight of Mr. Splashy Pants.

Or the japanese, who BTW still are infatuated with American culture, talk about "Mistru Spwashi Pantzu!"

No one really cares about Annahi, or whatever those other names were.

I have a good question...

Who cares?

Do you not have anything better to do than to worry about a whale's name, when it is the consensus among the people that Mr. Splashy pants is the cat's pajamas? Or would you rather have the whale be named 'Yanni' or 'Jai Utal' or some other contrived new age hippieness?

You realise this is the name supported by the digg and reddit communities?

And yet you have digg and reddit buttons and both sites send you traffic.

Have some respect for the people that give you exposure and helped build this sites publicity.

Mr. Splashy Pants is the best name in the history of whale names.

The Negative Nellies need to take a deep breath and thank the god/goddess of their choice that Stephen Colbert isn't on the air right now. Or you'd have "Mr. Splashy Pants Colbert".

You should love the name Mister Splashy Pants, too.

Or do you hate freedom?

If a name like Mr. Splashy Pants gets this kind of response, I hope the mass media picks this story up and more people donate to help endangered animals.

The great thing about Mr. Splashy Pants will be when he meets his future Mrs. Splashy Skirt and they have a whole pod of little Splashy Shorts ... imagine the headlines .... saving whales needs to be interesting and fun, at least until "the masses" get it together and then suddenly realize how serious and dignified it should be :)

Sierra Night Tide nailed it. Japan, the land that surpasses all others in cuteness technology, will not be able to resist Mr. Splashy Pants.
