The Oregon Zoo is letting the public vote on the name for the baby elephant. Here are the choices:
Amul: Hindi for "priceless, of inestimable worth."
Bao: Chinese for "precious treasure."
Duc: (rhymes with hook or look): Vietnamese for "good, moral, desire." (Also is a portion of former Trail Blazer Kevin Duckworth's name, honoring the late basketball player.)
Hugo-Tu: This name honors the baby's mother, Rose-Tu, and maternal grandfather, Hugo. Hugo comes from the Germanic word for "mind, heart or spirit" and Tu is Vietnamese for "tree."
Samudra (nickname Sam): Hindi for "lord of the ocean." (The calf loves his baths!)
The voting goes through September 11th, so hurry to cast your vote now!
