On Nov. 3, Zoo Atlanta will open voting for a name for its newest panda. Fans can submit a name by visiting zooatlanta.com. Balloting will continue through Dec. 3. The male cub will be 100 days old on Dec. 8 and, in accordance with Chinese tradition, will finally get a name.

The cub’s name will be selected from a final list of 12 suggestions: One from the zoo’s board of directors, two from zoo staff, one from zoo members and one from suggestions on the zoo’s myspace.com page. Five names will come from media, and the other two will be suggested by fans in China’s Chengdu City, home of the research facility that owns the pandas.
