...Zoo officials announced Thursday the cub will be called Su Lin. The name — one of five options in an online poll — means "a little bit of something very cute" in Chinese, according to the zoo.
Su Lin, which got 44 percent of the more than 70,000 votes cast, also was the name of the first giant panda brought to the United States in 1936.
The zoo followed Chinese tradition by waiting 100 days after the cub's Aug. 2 birth to name her.
The five names were submitted by the zoo's Giant Panda Team and approved by the People's Republic of China, which owns Su Lin and her parents, Bai Yun, the zoo's adult female, and Gao Gao, the adult male.
The second-place name with 35 percent of the vote was Bao Bei, which means "precious, priceless, treasure."..

Love and light being, Teo
