Name the Baby Giraffe [Video]

Fredericksburg, which names do you suggest? Tell us in the comments.

An endangered Rothschild giraffe gave birth to a female calf Friday at the LEO Zoological Conservation Center in Greenwich, Conn.

The conservation center is accepting name recommendations for the newborn.  You can submit your suggestion at their website.  The site crashed Tuesday morning because so many were visiting to submit their name suggestion.
