There’s nothing quite like the excitement of welcoming a brand-new baby… giraffe!

On June 7, 2025, Greenville Zoo’s Autumn and Miles, welcomed a little boy. Now, nearly a month old and already standing a towering 6'1", this little guy is still missing one very important thing: a name.

This is where you come in.  The community has been tasked to decide the name for this little one.  The finalists are Ollie, Finn, Lucas or Kendi, which in Swahili means "loved one" or "beloved child."

Voting is open now until July 16, 2025. Click HERE to cast your vote.
