Bronx Cobra to be named.

The Bronx News and The New York Daily Times asked the public to vote on what the name of the Cobra should be. 

After getting over 33,000 suggestions. They narrowed it down to five suggestions:

-- Agnes, which is Greek for pure or holy, and is also a reference to St. Agnes.
-- Amaunet, an ancient Egyptian goddess, meaning 'the female hidden one."
-- Cleopatra, the last ruler of ancient Egypt, who supposedly killed herself by means of an Egyptian cobra bite.
-- Subira, which is Egyptian for patient.
-- Mia, an abbreviation for Missing In Action.


I personally like Mia. I think its appropriate for the lost but now found Cobra. (:
