UPDATE!: So we got tons of great responses but after looking over the entries, we’ve chosen a winner and it’s Melyssa. Although she submitted like a bazillion good suggestions, the one that stood out for me was Chico Stick. I mean c’mon, a giraffe’s legs look like those delicious treats! Congrats and thanks to everyone who entered!
The Chaffee Zoo is an awesome place, no question. But what happens when the Fresno Beehive teams up with said zoo to throw an exclusive event for local Tweeps?! The friggan Fresno Tweetup Goes Wild, that’s what and it’s all going down this Saturday, April 24th from 5pm-8pm at the Chaffee Zoo. This event is specifically for Twitter users and if you RSVP to either the Fresno Zoo (@FresnoZoo) or the Fresno Beehive (@FresnoBeehive) on Twitter and you will get into the event for $5. For all the details, peep out this post or this post over on the Fresno Beehive. So what if you ain’t got $5 to spend? Well, we’ve got you hooked up too because we have a pair of tickets for the event to give you but first the Chaffee Zoo needs your help with this:
The zoo has a pregnant giraffe right now and they’re having a problem coming up with a name for the baby so we need you to put on your creative hats and suggest some names for the newborn and the best name we choose is the winner.
My suggestion? Nectarine. See, it’s that simple! Leave your ideas in the comments and feel free to bomb the post with as many clever ideas you’d like in the comments section and we’ll choose the name that we find most creative & clever. You have to hurry & get your suggestions in by Thursday, April 22nd at 6pm when the contest ends. In order to win, you need be on Twitter to win the tickets or at least start an account for this event.
If you’re new to Twitter or aren’t already following us, be sure to follow myself (@brodiemash) and Dumb Drum (@DumbDrum) and we’ll steer you straight. And remember, if you don’t win tickets here you can still join in on the fun as there will be games, music, food, prizes and much more going down at the event. Also, most of the animals will be on display and the event is all ages and kids under the age of 10 get in for free. You really can’t beat that with a Phasmatodea. Hope to see you guys out there this weekend and good luck winning the tickets!
Minerva if it is a girl. Vincenzo if it is a boy.
They should name it Bryan Harley if it's a boy. Brodiemash if it's a girl.
Actually I changed my mind. Name the thing WeirdFresno.com. I'm all about shameless self promotion. :D
Abeo for a girl and Abelo for a boy
I know I don't count, but …
My top two names are:
T-Mob and Mr. Belvedere.
It should totally be T-Mob.
How about Tallin' Autry?
LULZ! Carlos Brown would approve!
Deidre Tall =)
Oh for a boy… Bobby
Pistachio… ok ok last one :)
Big Fres
I'm not entering the contest, as I'm hosting one too, but I want to name the Giraffe Google :-)
how about Chukchansi the giraffe….
hahah no, just kidding. Google would be kind of cool.
Name it “Tweet.” Sure would build up a ton of headlines I bet…
Fresno zoo names baby giraffe after social networking site used to solicit naming ideas
Heck, maybe twitter will get involved in the marketing campaign? Maybe make a gift? Who knows…?
Boy: Fresno
Girl: Clovis
