Hello, I'm Indescribably Beautiful and this is Magnificent: Atlanta zoo names pandas Mei Lun and Mei Huan after Chinese phrase

They are the first twin giant panda cubs to be born in the United States

Both look a picture of good health and are growing fast

The first twin giant panda cubs to be born in the United States and survive have been given names that come from a Chinese idiom meaning 'something indescribably beautiful and magnificent', zoo officials in Atlanta said on Wednesday.

The names - Mei Lun (may loon) and Mei Huan (may hwaan) - were announced when the male cubs reached 100 days old, in keeping with ancient Chinese tradition.

More than 51,000 people voted on ABC television's Good Morning America website to choose from five sets of names suggested for the pair by staff at the Chengdu Research
Base of Giant Panda Breeding in China, Zoo Atlanta officials said.
