Let's call them Orcas...

Killer Whale is possibly the worst common name ever given an animal. Outside animal parks, they have a pretty stellar record as far as their interactions with humans go.

Also....the name implies some sort of malice or intent. All whales are predators. Orcas don't kill any more than any other whale.

Just some thoughts to consider.
