Name this panda

Cubexam1aug18Nice backstage-pass work by the Smithsonian's National Zoo to present its new baby giant panda cub, the first in the zoo's history, to the world outside the zoo's gates in Washington, D.C.

First, it established a live, streaming pandacam; I find myself checking it every day. Now the zoo is asking the world to choose the cub's name from a list of five contenders. This is probably more efficient than what many human parents endure.

My vote was for Qiang Qiang (chee-ONG chee-ONG), meaning "strong, powerful."

A perfect fit for Washington.
