Zoo Berlin announced the names of its baby panda twins on Friday: Meng Hao, meaning "beautiful dreams," and Meng Tian, "sweet dreams."
Following a Chinese tradition, the names incorporate elements from their mother's name, Meng Meng. The twin sisters, born on Aug. 22, also received German nicknames: Leni and Lotti. These names hold a special connection to Berlin -- Leni honors Marlene Dietrich, the iconic actress born in Schoeneberg, and Lotti playfully references Charlottenburg, a nearby district.
