Plot hole: How does the little girl Nina know Ferdinand's name if only the animals can communicate with each other? They're all calling him Ferdinand before she "names" him that.
Ferdinand (2017)
1 plot hole
Directed by: Carlos Saldanha
Starring: Jack Gore, Colin H. Murphy, Jet Jurgensmeyer, Nile Diaz
Factual error: While Ferdinand and the bulls are running free in Madrid they pass by the Puerta de Alcalá monument with a set of three columns and a door in the middle. The drawing is actually missing two huge blocks with 2 doors on each side.
Lupe: Holy Beefaroni! You're ginormous.
Question: Ferdinand had his name since birth when he is being raised at the bull camp. But he is later adopted by Nina and Juan who also name him Ferdinand. How do they know that his name is Ferdinand? He was not wearing any identification tags and he couldn't speak to the humans to tell them this.

Answer: It's a very common Hispanic name, so probably just a coincidence that Nina and Juan happened to name him that.
