The San Diego Zoo needs your help choosing the name of a female panda cub.

Five names selected by San Diego Zoo panda staff and approved by the People's Republic of China, will be posted on www.sandiegozoo.org and will be available through Oct. 31.

The cub will receive the most popular name chosen by panda fans visiting the Zoo's Web site and will be announced when the panda reaches 100 days.

The 10-week-old cub weighed in Wednesday at more than seven pounds. Zoo veterinarians say the cub was vocalizing more, making chuffle sounds during the health exam.

The name choices are:
  • Jiao Mei -- sweet and charming
  • Jiao Yan -- delicate and charming
  • Su Lin -- a little bit of something very cute
  • Bao Bei -- precious, priceless, a treasure
  • Zhong Da -- great, important, significant
