Elephants are not kept at home in our latitudes, although this is considered common in Africa or India. The zoo staff usually has to come up with a name for an elephant. It is hard to imagine that someone has settled such a huge animal at home and now you urgently need to decide on the choice of a name. However, for the oligarchs, this luxury is quite affordable. In general, for those who have recently acquired a new elephant, the following ideas may be helpful.
Instructions
Step 1
Interview the public. It is not uncommon for zoos that receive an elephant to choose a name for it themselves. They usually conduct a survey among visitors. As a rule, the name for other new animals is chosen "by the whole world." Polls can be conducted on the zoo's website, and questionnaires can be handed out at the entrance. By the way, you must remember to collect printed questionnaires somehow.
Step 2
Pick a common human name. For example, the name of the elephant in the Yekaterinburg zoo is Daria. The zoo received it as a gift. One Permian elephant was called Johnny, in the American manner.
Step 3
Name an elephant after a literary, cinematic, or cartoon character. For example, you can name the elephant Dumbo, in honor of the hero of the cartoon of the same name.
Step 4
You can name an elephant after its famous relatives. True, at first it would be nice to find out what exactly the elephant that went down in history became famous for? After all, many elephant "celebrities" were either executed or died in an accident. Jumbo the elephant was shot down by a steam train in the Canadian city of Saint Thomas. The Asian elephant Mary was hanged for killing a man. The elephant Topsi was also executed for a similar offense. But among the elephants there are also "goodies", for example, the "pious" Indian elephant Guruvayur Keshavan.
Step 5
Name the elephant ironically. For example, Kid or Baby. Or is it worth calling the elephant a name that will suit him better in appearance? Giant, Bogatyr, Giant.
Step 6
You can call an elephant in a very unusual way - a nickname that we are used to calling out to other pets. It will be quite funny to call the elephant Sharik, Murzik, Barsik or Bobik.
