You will find it difficult to link a name/person to a whale, because these people take good precautions to hide their true identity. They have to do this, because rich people can draw some attention from some criminal elements, if they know their true identity.
Bitcoin whales are also often targeted by beggars and spammers and nobody wants people like that to bug you for money 24/7.

Some of these people also wants to avoid unnecessary attention from law enforcement agencies.
