What Should We Name Our Baby Panda?

Zoo taking votes for the name of Bai Yun’s panda cub

The San Diego Zoo is looking for your help to name its panda cub.

The little guy has grown to nearly 8 pounds and is quickly approaching his next major milestone: getting a name. The zoo is taking votes for the name, based off a selection of six names submitted by the cub’s admirers.

The names and their translations include:
Qi Ji (Miracle)
Yu Di (Raindrop)
Da Hai (Big Ocean/Big Sea)
Xiao Liwu (Little Gift)
Yong Er (Brave Son)
Shui Long (Water Dragon)

The Zoo’s Bai Yun (translation: White Cloud) gave birth to the cub on July 29. The father's name is Gao Gao (Big Big).

Polls opened on Tuesday and will close on Tuesday evening. The results will be revealed on Tuesday Nov. 13 during a public naming ceremony at the Zoo.

You can cast your vote here.
