Here's a list of names the zoo is considering and allowing the public to vote for: 1. Amul: Hindi for "priceless, of inestimable worth." 2. Bao: Chinese for "precious treasure." 3. Duc (rhymes with hook or look): Vietnamese for "good, moral, desire." (Also is a portion of former Trail Blazer Kevin Duckworth's name, honoring the late basketball player.) 4. Hugo-Tu: This name honors the baby's mother, Rose-Tu, and maternal grandfather, Hugo. Hugo comes from the Germanic word for "mind, heart or spirit" and Tu is Vietnamese for "tree." 5. Samudra (nickname Sam): Hindi for "lord of the ocean." (The calf loves his baths!) Oregon Zoo invites public to name baby elephant | Local News | kgw.com | News for Oregon and SW Washington
