The Diego Zoo in Balboa Park received more than 6,300 suggested names for the male panda born there 12 weeks ago, the zoo’s officials said yesterday.

These names were delivered in person by zoo-goers or submitted through the zoo’s Web site over a 10-day period earlier this month. The five finalists will be unveiled Saturday on that Web site, and then people can vote for their favorites.

Voting will take place through Nov. 3. The name with the most votes will be announced during a Nov. 17 ceremony.

While San Diego Zoo's newest panda cub may still be without a name, staffers are sifting through some 6,300 names suggested by zoo-goers. The top five names go on the zoo's Web site and public voting will run through Nov. 3 - Courtesy San Diego Zoo
