Loaf and Solo want your help with a baby name!

The King penguin chick arrived on Valentine's Day; it is now six weeks of age and weighs almost 5kg. The baby was born to devoted parents Loaf and Solo, who have displayed their dedication by barely leaving their chick’s side.

Although Loaf and Solo are not first time parents, they are finding it a bit hard to come up with a suitable name for this new addition to the family.

That's where you come in!
