Meet Pachelbelle
Our pachyderm has a name. The name was the result of our first contest at EBP. Thank you, Leigh Teale, for your suggestion.
We will do more contests in the future and there’s now an address for that purpose: contests[at sign] elephantsbookshelfpress[dot]com.
We’ll tweet out when there’s a contest and share that news in as many ways as we can. Until then, feel free to admire our elephant, created by Hoboken-based artist Heather Smith.
I would like to suggest either Oliver or my personal favorite… Pachelbel. ((Then you could call him Pacho the Pachyderm! =D))
A nice start. Thanks, Leigh!
Butkus! After my favorite Bear football player, of course, not the obvious physical feature in the picture.
A certain little girl wants to name him Narf…though I personally like Pachelbel!
Rumpole, a wise and weighty literary figure, with thanks to John Mortimer and the great Leo McKern.
Eppie (you know, like epi-pen) 🙂
We’re getting some great suggestions. Keep ’em coming!

Thanks, Tom!
Babar’s Brother, Rabab
or
an appropriate alien name — Intheroom
Elephant Intheroom … Made me chuckle! Thanks, Vicki!
How bout, Earnest B. Shlepp? This is an anagram for Elephant Press, with the B,(Book) thrown in as a midle initial.
Clever! Thanks, Eric.
Some additional suggestions have come through via email:
Tembo (a Swahili word for elephant)
Ella (from a 5-year old)
