Taronga's new baby elephant

Taronga Zoo welcomed a new baby elephant recently. And there is a competition going round for the best baby name for it. The catch - the name must be Thai. Me and mum were thinking up of ideas:

Phat: because it sounds like "fat" which is funny and it also looks like a Thai word
Pad Thai: "because everyone likes pad thai" - Mum
Siew: (as in Pad Siew) because it's Rob's favourite Thai dish
Chaing Mai: "call it Chiang Mai!" - Dad... he liked Chiang Mai when we went there

So what do you reckon? Vote! Or put down your own suggestions.
