Kitty: So what's the origin of the name "The Seahorse Whisperer"?
A-L: It's a play on the very popular and much over-used verbal trick of adding "Whisperer" after an animal's name. Like "The Horse Whisperer" or "The Dog Whisperer". It indicates a person's ability to charm/tame/understand/train said animal.
Kitty: Psst, don't talk to me like I'm an imbecile.
A-L: Morgan's studying evolutionary biology, and concentrating her work on seahorses and pipefish.
Kitty: And Pipefish Whisperer doesn't sound as good.

And plus. Everyone KNOWS pipefish are hard of hearing.
And, they spite the Syngnathidae family for their protestant and Lutheran-Republican views. God helps us all!
