The winner gets the pride of naming me and an annual family pass to the Dublin Zoo so you can visit me as much as you want. The deadline is 31 August, 2007. Scroll down for the Terms & Conditions

    Harney is not Asian name !:D

    i was in the zoo yesterday when i came back to my car some knacker(s) had broken into my car and my door is broken now, this has no relevance to the elephant naming but still, i thought id let you know that im very angry about it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,041 ✭✭✭✭chopperbyrne


    Optimus Prime is of Asian origin. How cool would it be to have an elephant in Dublin Zoo called Optimus Prime?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 102 ✭✭windy bee


    I think it should be called " baba-shatsu" - after a type of older womens underwear (like long johns). Thats or "masuokaku" which means to whack off, or " nani o miten da yo" - meaning "what the hell are you looking at" or "shouben " meaning - piss. :rolleyes:

    Maybe they could call it Chairman Mao.

    That's certainly of Asian origin...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,246 ✭✭✭✭Dyr


    If you consider that western names are pretty common in asia for centuries now its a fairly racist idea this "asian origin" thing. I mean people in the philippines are asian yet they all use westernised names :confused:

    Optimus Prime has already received at least four votes today.

    Lets make this happen.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,243 ✭✭✭✭Jesus Wept


    There should be a poll..... I think Atari Jaguar and Yore ma, along with Optimus Prime and Mr Miyagi are all poll worthy, I'm sure we can find a few other options too.
