Thread: instances w/in an array

I'm trying to create an instance of class Chicken using the element in the array handles[7].

Code:

	char *temp;
char *handles[7]="Chick","Duck","Green", "Hawk","Jab","peacock","Red"}; 
	

                temp=handles[0];
	Chicken temp;

Is there a way to create an object with these names in the array?

Thanks for any help provided.
