It’s time to name Kai Kai and Jia Jia’s cub!

Mandai Wildlife Reserve has shortlisted five names for the giant panda cub born on Aug 14 in Singapore.

Out of all the public’s suggestions, the five chosen were Hóng Hóng, Lè Lè, Xīn Lè, Xīn Yáng and Xīn Yuán.

In a Facebook post uploaded on Wednesday (Nov 3), Mandai Wildlife Reserve stated that some of the suggestions could be shortlisted as no two pandas around the world can have the same name.

Vote for #littleone's name!
Thank you for sending in your name suggestions for our #littleone! 🐼💕 We’ve narrowed the choices to five and it’s time for you to vote! 🌟 Head to www.mandai.com/pandacub - to vote! Voting period ends 7 Nov! P.S. Panda names are unique around the world. So no two pandas have the same name. As such, some names suggested could not be shortlisted. Big thanks from Kai Kai, Jia Jia and their care team for the tremendous response!
