Name That Dolphin!

     For the past several days, all of Chicago has been abuzz about news coming out of the Shedd Aquarium. They need some help naming their new pacific white-sided dolphin calf. The male, who was born to Piquet back on June 1, is doing great and hitting all of the milestones that Shedd's Marine Mammals team have set for it. Now the Shedd has partnered with ABC 7 to allow the public to pick a name. Much like last year's naming contest for the sea otter, there are a number of pre-selected names to vote on(but unlike last year's contest, J.K. Rowling hasn't offered up her opinion on the matter):

• Kolohe, which means "rascal" in Hawaiian
• Makoa, which means "fearless" in Hwaiian

     Voting will remain open to the public(at this website) until 3 PM today, and the winning name will be announced LIVE on Wednesday during ABC's 6 AM news. Tune in to Channel 7 to find out the winning name, and make sure to stay tuned to Chicago 365 for all of your local Chicago stories.
