Well, as you can see he's shy.

Skinink, I was wondering when someone would post that pic up on here. I noticed it when I watched the speech. I looked at it, and (no joke) I said, "That'll show up on Fark real quick." Am I prophetic or what?

Mr. Splashy Pants?

 
Timdesuyo 2008-09-06 09:26:26 AM  
Well, if it looks like a Duc, and it quacks like a Duc,

 
overdogg 2008-09-06 09:28:11 AM  
i'm thinking track or trig or piper

 
licktheloki 2008-09-06 09:36:00 AM  
I voted for Amul. Probably should have gone with Duc, though.

 
T-Boy 2008-09-06 09:36:42 AM  
He looks like a "Mister Splashy Pants" to me.

 
Danger Avoid Death 2008-09-06 09:43:39 AM  
What about a name that has meaning for the people of Bangladesh, India and Sri Lanka, with an American flavor.

How about Slurpee??

 
Fool_Marquis 2008-09-06 09:49:28 AM  
Name him Bao, but we all just call him Scott.

 
syrynxx [TotalFark] 2008-09-06 09:51:49 AM  
What's Vietnamese for "Steaming Poop Factory"? I'll go with Duc because it's the stupidest name there.

 
fappomatic 2008-09-06 09:53:49 AM  
He looks like a Nancy to me.

 
at80eighty [TotalFark] 2008-09-06 09:54:18 AM  
they should give him a sexually suggestive name that'll make him popular with the ladies, like Stout Snout or something

 
pureobscure 2008-09-06 09:55:30 AM  
Thirding the Mr. Splashy Pants.

Long Dong would be more in keeping with the Asian theme. Or not, depending on who you ask.

How about Berilia, Jerakeen, Tubul or Great T'phon?

"Squishy" would be better.

 
flup 2008-09-06 10:15:43 AM  
Duc, Amul, Bao, Hugo-Tu, Track, Piper, Bristol, Willow, or Trig?

I thought that was the nickname of the slow natives the elepants get stuck between their toes?

Mancini.

What are the Mandarin and Indian words for "Tiny"?

 
Danger Avoid Death 2008-09-06 10:20:46 AM  
elephants, I mean.

Squishy pants would be bad.

 
sangre 2008-09-06 10:29:39 AM  
'Hugo comes from the Germanic word for "mind, heart or spirit" and Tu is Vietnamese for "tree".'


Mind tree?

系小 (xì xiǎo) and nanhā, respectively.

Probably gave a choice of four names because they don't want it named Stephen Colbert.

Zoos need to be more multicultural in their naming of baby animals!! Conservative, narrow minded douchebags.

 
mvalpreda 2008-09-06 11:11:18 AM  
I vote for Trig.

\Can't believe no one else said it.
