Name the Solent Dolphin

Has anyone thought of a name for the Solent Dolphin?

He/she is very beautiful and spent a long time playing near Merlin before falling for nearby Pompey jetskier Alan's ski. (Will post shots during the week).

There's a dolphin in Kerry called Fungie.

We have to think of a name for the Solent pet.

Any ideas?

missus

I just like Trevor.

As for coming up close to Merlin, maybe it thought it was old skanky fishing boat and they were on the scav?
