Suggest a name for a baby dolphin - and you could win a family trip to Florida!

We have a competition running this week to name one of the new female baby dolphins at Discovery Cove, Florida.

And the Mumsnetter who suggests the best name (in the judges' opinion) will win a week's family holiday in Orlando, including flights, taxes, car hire, accommodation and a one-day pass to Discovery Cove.

All you have to do is post your name suggestions on this thread. You can enter as many times as you like.

Good luck!

Sorry if this has already been done to death, but I can't wade through 34 pages of names to find out.

Dolphins HATE people swimming with them. They are not smiling, it is just the way their faces look. They should not be held in captivity, they should not be made to perform tricks and we should not be encouraging their exploitation. I am being judgy and I don't care. It is wrong on all fronts.

For one incident last year at Discovery Cove, see Dolphin death. For the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society's general position, go here.

  1. Pickle (because they are playful and mischievous)
  1. Daphne (the dolphin) - it just rhymes...

Actually, the more I say it, the more I like Daphne!
