Naming of baby panda born in Singapore

[13177]

5 shortlisted names for baby panda at River Safari.

Mandai Wildlife Group had invited the public to submit suggestions for the panda's name, and it has narrowed the shortlist down to these five names for the public to vote:

Hong Hong (宏宏): Hong (宏) means magnificence (宏伟/宏大) in Mandarin, signifying well-wishes for the panda cub to grow up magnificent and healthy.

Le Le (叻叻): Le (叻) comes from the old Chinese term for Singapore, "Shi Le Po" (石叻坡). 

Xin Le (新乐): Xin Le means new joy and can also mean Singapore’s joy. 

Xin Yang (新阳): Xin Yang means Singapore Sun or new Sun, which symbolises the brightness and joy this birth brings. The panda was also born in the morning.

Xin Yuan (新缘): Xin (新) refers to Singapore, while Yuan (缘) means affinity/fate. Yuan also sounds like (圆) which means fulfilment. The cub was born after fate brought Kai Kai and Jia Jia together in Singapore.

Votes are now open for the public to choose their favourite name and will end on Nov. 7, 2021, at 11:59pm.

Who came up with the 5 suggested names?

That says a lot about SG's creativity. I'd reject them all.

I think Le Le is good. But same name as one of my previous friend's mistress. Haha. So reject. 😂
