National Zoo Panda Cub Is Named! Bao-Bao!

Over the last month the National Zoo had a naming contest for their panda cub.  A total of 123,000 people voted in the contest and today the results were announced, on the 100th day of the cub’s life, as is the Chinese tradition.  A month ago my choice was the name Bao Bao because of its meaning, ‘precious’ or ‘treasure’.   I am happy to say my choice won!   The name is pronounce ‘Bough BOUGH’.  More here.
