You've been waiting a long time, now it's definite! Our giant pandas were given their names today: Leni and Lotti - inspired by the famous actress Marlene Dietrich from Berlin and our neighboring district. Of course, they have also been given Chinese names: Leni was christened Meng Hao (beautiful dreams) and Lotti Meng Tian (sweet dreams). co ∞ In keeping with Chinese tradition, the twins' names contain elements from their parents' names - so panda mom Meng Meng is delighted.
