The Great/Huge/Giant/Gigantic Whale Clan

[PJ]

Featured in HSDS, the _____ Whale Clan has been translated in various flavors, including:

Great Whale Clan
Huge Whale Clan
Giant Whale Clan
Gigantic Whale Clan

The Chinese name is 巨鲸派

Which name do you think best fits the bill?

[devilz91]

Great Whale Clan sounds good to me.

[CC]

It is the wrong '鲸' or I would prefer BIG SPERM CLAN!

[Ren Wo Xing]

Option five: Titanic Whale Clan!

[yittz]

You have too much time.
Giant.

[PJ]

You have too much time.
Giant.

I could have sworn that it said Massive at first glance. Did you change it to "Giant" or did I have a momentary hallucination?

[Banh Mi]

Option five: Titanic Whale Clan!

Two thumbs up on that one.

[PJ]

Here are a few more possibilities:

JUMBO Whale Clan
HERCULEAN Whale Clan
MAMMOTH Whale Clan

and

BROBDINGNAGIAN Whale Clan

[Ken Cheng]

Big-Time name aside, did this particular clan/sect accomplish anything big? I seem to remember that their only real function was to play Tse Tsun victims.

[PJ]

Their contribution to the story is quite the Lilliputian.

[Ken Cheng]

Well, at least the name is somewhat impressive...better than something like "Divine Farmer's Union," or anything like that.

JUMBO Whale Clan
HERCULEAN Whale Clan
MAMMOTH Whale Clan

and

BROBDINGNAGIAN Whale Clan

GINORMOUS Whale Clan?

HUMONGOUS Whale Clan?

BIG Whale Clan?

COLOSSAL Whale Clan?

LARGE Whale Clan?

[PJ]

So, after 2 years, I'm still not sure which translation to use for this lovable clan.

But I'm leaning towards one of these:

JUMBO whale clan
COLOSSAL whale clan
GARGANTUAN whale clan
MAMMOTH whale clan
TITANIC whale clan

and

BROBDINGNAGIAN whale clan

[Guo Xiang]

Well, at least the name is somewhat impressive...better than something like "Divine Farmer's Union," or anything like that.

It only sounds bad when translated into English... In the original language, it sounds just fine.

[Yuet Thi]

Divine Farmer's Union? What the?

Great, Giant, and Gigantic doesn't sound so poetic. I prefer the Great Whale Clan. Titanic is cool, just too modern.

[Alinda]

Divine Farmer's Union? What the?

.

i think it was the clan that duan yu got into a problem with begining of the novel when he laughed at one of the ppl in it......or was it the one in which he and zhou ling where trapped by? i don't remember but i think it was one of those

They were the ones who took Chung Ling prisoner, and whose chief (See Hung Yeun) was poisoned by the bite of Chung Ling's marten. On Teen San Tung Lo's orders, the Divine Farmer's Union was going to make war against the two Mo Leung Sword Sects. Deun Yu was hoping to convince the Divine Farmer's Union to abandon their plan to attack the Mo Leung Sword Sects.
