The
St. Louis Zoo and KMOV Channel 4 are holding a contest for naming the new baby elephant born on Wednesday, August 2, 2006. The zoo keepers have come up with 5 names and the public gets to vote on the name they like best. You can vote once a day until the voting closes (noon on Monday, August 28). You'll also have a chance to win some awesome zoo prizes including a "Greet the baby behind the scenes and meet her keepers" opportunity. Here are the names:
- Sundari (soon-dar-ee) which means "beautiful woman"
- Nisha (NEESH-ah) which means "night"
- Maliha (MAH-lee-hah) which means "strong" and "beautiful"
- Sashi (SAH-shee) which means "moon"
- Jaya (JAY-ah) which means "victorious."
I like "Nisha" the best. I'll be voting each day for the next two weeks...you can too...just

What?! No Ganeesha?!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, since the Baby was born in St. Louis, isn't she actually an AMERICAN elephant? I vote for Paki!
USA! USA!
I like Sashi which actually means "moonbeam". I did my vote, will vote more later.
