    Well, Spot would be the obvious name.

      So, is this baby spot or spotless?

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

    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.

      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.

      All I see is cowardice. Long live Giraffey McGiraffeface!

    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.

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