[@LB-ge8ih]

You can’t just suggest a name, there are four the zoo is offering to choose from, according to the link in the description. The names are Melancia (Portuguese for “watermelon”), Ixchel (the Mayan goddess of the moon), Hayetzi (Mayan for “moon droplet”), and Soona (an Otomi name meaning “moon”). You can vote using the link.
