DEL.ICIO.USLast chance to vote on panda cub’s name
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
You’ve cogitated, ruminated, procrastinated: Now, with Sunday looming, you don’t have much time to cast your vote for the name for Zoo Atlanta’s baby giant panda.
The online polls close at the last minute of the day Sunday. When midnight tolls, and Monday begins, it will be too late.
The names, posted on ajc.com, have come from local and international sources. By Friday afternoon, more than 42,000 votes had been cast.
The winning name will be announced Friday, Dec. 15, during a special ceremony at Zoo Atlanta, when the cub is 100 days old.

Please vote for MEI TAO - “BEAUTIFUL PEACH” so this sweet panda is known for her GEORGIA roots when she goes to China one day.

She is such a Sweetie. I think that “Little Peach” fits her no matter how big she gets. Peaches come from China and they are GA State fruit the connection is good!! :)

I like Mei Lan for Atlanta Beauty—because she is surely that! But I would also like to offer a “write in” name. What about “Shir Lee” — she’s the first female baby Panda for Atlanta, and Shirley Franklin was the first female mayor for Atlanta.
