The Would Like You to Name a Baby Giraffe, and the only option Is Tim…

The Columbus Zoo has a new baby Masai giraffe, and naturally, the public has been handed the sacred responsibility of choosing his name.
The male calf was born March 10 in the Heart of Africa region to 15-year-old Zuri, and after a few months of getting to know him, the zoo has narrowed the name choices down to four: BJ St. Pierre, Jasper, Patches, and Tim. Voting runs through June 15, with the winning name set to be announced on June 21, also known as World Giraffe Day.
Let’s review the candidates.

BJ St. Pierre is named after his father, Bobbie, with what the zoo calls “a distinguished twist.” Very elegant. Very country club. Very “this giraffe has opinions about linen.”

Jasper is inspired by the gemstone, a nod to the calf’s natural patterns. Solid choice. Respectable. Feels like he might own a bookstore.

Patches is the obvious cute option, since giraffes do, in fact, come pre-patched.

And then there’s Tim. broke down why this is the only option. ⬇️
