[Babase] another repeat sname - NAV

Hi all,

I just ran into the problem of a non-unique sname again while I was
trying to update the census data (fortunately it caught the problem and
wouldn't let me!).  NAV was used for both Navy and Nutty's infant
Navajoe (born Aug 03).  Navajoe was only around for 17 days before he
died, so it seems pretty obvious to me that that's the name we should
change.  How about Nido (like the milk powder)?  Or do we have to go
with a name from the list of possibilities in Amboseli?  (I'm not
familiar with the naming rules.)

I would like to finish the update ASAP, so the sooner we can resolve
this issue the better.  And we need to figure out why this has happened
a couple of times.

Thanks,
Daphne
