GMA is asking viewers to vote on the baby hippo’s name. After thousands of suggestions, there are now three names left in the running.
Each name is a tribute to Africa, where river hippos are native.

The first name, Tumini, means “hope” in Swahili. The second, Amahle means “beautiful one” in Zulu. The final option, Mwezi, means “moon” in Swahili.
Vote below and the winner will be announced live on “Good Morning America.”
