“Crikey! Wildlife Warriors, we need your help,” she began.

“Our darling koala joey needs a name. Comment below your best naming suggestions and tag a friend to do the same. Together with #AustraliaZoo we will be choosing the very best.”

Fans were quick to flood the comment section with some quirky name ideas.

“Euie short for Eucalyptus,” one wrote.

There was a lot of name suggestions referring to eucalyptus.

“bubbles bc they eat gum tree leaves,” another one commented.

“Pebbles the Koala”.

Other name suggestions included Artie, Koko, Clara, Tippy, Winston and Bertie.

Even a few fans suggested the koala joey’s name be in reference to the iconic 90s television series Friends: “Tribiani!! As in Joey Tribiani from friends cuz he’s a little Joey!”

Meanwhile another one wrote: “he is a Joey and you already have a Chandler… So Ross, Phoebe, Monica or Rachel.”

However it is unclear as to whether the fan was talking about Bindi’s husband or the adorable orphaned grey kangaroo who was rescued after he obtained injuries to his head and legs while being caught in a fence.

“This sweetheart required a forehead drain due to the injuries and many stitches. Beyond thankful for our extraordinary #AustraliaZooWildlifeHospital team,” Bindi wrote.

Chandler, Bindi and Chandler again?

“They have been pouring endless love and care into Chandler’s recovery in hopes that one day this roo can be released back to the wild. “

“We are proud to protect nearly half a million acres of #conservation property for Aussie native wildlife. Please remember, never purchase any #kangaroo products. These beauties deserve better.”

Before sending in your favourite name be aware that Australia Zoo love quirky names including DJ the Rhino, Theo the Red Kangaroo and Coconut the Tortoise.
