Looks like they have already come up with a few names.
"Four names - from places in West Africa - have already been shortlisted.
They are Loko, Kadina, Zimmi and Lola. Voting online, via the zoo's website, closes on Wednesday."
I personally would go for Loko, though it does sound a bit Disney.

This pygmy hippo was taking a nap at the Washington National Zoo. I thought it was cute and ugly at the same time.
