Rhino names

by Cellobella on Friday, June 24, 2005

What on earth do you call a rhino? Apart from whatever rhino is for “sir”. Whatever you call it you don’t want to annoy it. Perth zoo rhino parents Sabie and Memphis have welcomed a new baby son into captivity and now are looking for human help to name him.

Hmmmm.

Could we go down the Eygptian route like his dad… Cairo, Giza, Cheops, Nile… maybe we could go a bit more Godlike… Osiris, Seth or even Ra (which has the added advantage of sounding like the start of a word you might automatically use when you see a Rhino coming – Ruuuuuuuuun!).

Or thinking laterally – how about Elvis.
