Eddie and the Hot Breakfast want you to give the new Zoo's baby elephant a name. Not a serious name but more of nickname.

Not since that baby gorilla that ended up with a name that rhymed with zuchini has there been so much fuss over a new addition at the Melbourne Zoo.

The Herald Sun have got a a survey going where they will come up with 5 names, we would love to get one of our names into that list.

We're sure the zoo officials have some traditional Indian or Thai name in place but we would really love it, if the over exposed baby elephant ended up being called 'Big Ears'.

Suggest a name for the baby elphant?

  How about Hung Lika, at least when he got older it would be true.

  I reckon we should give it a normal name like Graham or Dave.

  for something that weighs 140 kilo & is unsteady on it's feet,the naming of him is bleeding obvious if you want a Melbourne theme...DOYLEY,in honor of our own Lord Mayor!

  I reckon you should call the baby elephant BB because its a 140 kilos, it wobbles when it walks, and thats a bit like Billy Brownless the football player.

  you should call her collingwood,because she only has 2 tusks like most collingwood supporters only have 2 teeth,cheers,go pies,on a serious note this morning you were talking about serving water at pub venues to try and stop all the violence in our inner city venues,how about trying,using our security guards at the front door with breathelizers and if patrons want to come in to a club bar or pub they should blow and if they are over .05 no entry,this will reduce the violence alot..pete
