    Well, Spot would be the obvious name.

      So, is this baby spot or spotless?

        Giraffe spots are brown. The baby is one bug spot.

    The zoo has narrowed down their options to four names, which include:

    Kipekee: Unique
    Firyali: Unusual or Extraordinary
    Shakiri: “She is most beautiful.”
    Jamella: “One of great beauty.”

    I choose option 1.

    I see they learned from previous “name our new [x]” debacles and provided a list of name options.

      Boaty McBoatFace was NOT a debacle. It was a once-in-a-generation opportunity to get kids interested in climate science with programs like “The diary of Boaty McBoatFace” or “Zoom call with a Boaty McBoatScientist” all around the world in classrooms. Hell, even in high school I would’ve taken an elective that was doing actual work if it was Boaty McBoatFace-themed*.

      *not to say that I’m young enough to have been in high school at the time, but that it would appeal to kids that old

      The debacle was that they were too stuck up to realize what a gift they’d been given and completely squandered it. Boaty McBoatFace was beautiful. For a couple days, the internet cared about science in the absence of technology.

        I was thinking more about when Mountain Dew asked people to name their new flavor and people from 4chan made the top choice “hitler did nothing wrong.”

    Knowing the Internet it’ll end up being “Spotty McSpot Spot”
