Visitors to San Diego Zoo, between October 10th and 19th, can hand in their ideas for the name of San Diego's new panda cub.

After this date, the Zoo's panda team, comprised of keepers, veterinarians, scientists and others will select several of the names and pass them on to the Chinese Wildlife Conservation Association who will then pick a short list of names what will be posted on line, where the global community can vote on their favourites.

If you wish to give a suggestion for a name, then the name should be in Chinese (Pinyin), have an English translation, be symbolic in meaning.

San Diego is also trying to provide a link where the global community can provide suggestions.

I'll keep you posted when the link goes live, and the voting starts.

The new cub will be names on November 14th when the cub is 104 days old. (A little older than the customary 100 days)
