Meet the Names
Duke
A name fit for puffin royalty!
Duke is a playful nod to his parents, Baron and Pumpkin. And if you want to take it one step further, pumpkins played a pretty important role in Cinderella's journey to the royal ball! Like this noble name suggests, this puffling could also have an important role to play in the future horned puffin population.
Helix
It's all in the DNA!
A helix is the iconic shape of DNA, making this name a fitting tribute to the puffling's especially valuable genetics. With two highly valuable parents and an important role ahead of him, Helix celebrates the genetics that make this little puffin so significant.
Atlas
Helping chart the course for the future.
An atlas helps us navigate and find our way. With genetics that could help shape the future of the horned puffin population in accredited zoos and aquariums, Atlas represents the important journey this puffling may have ahead of him.
Odin
A little puffin with the potential to be a leader.
In Norse mythology, Odin was a powerful leader associated with wisdom and guidance. This puffling may have an important role in guiding the future of the horned puffin population through his valuable genetics.
