We’re down to 4 names!
…and amazingly, one of the 4 is mine. I thought I’d be thoroughly wiped out by now. The baby-naming-gods must be keeping an eye on me.
Oh! We did think of another name to add to the list: Raul, Jr.
Isn’t it brilliant? That way, no one will [...]
Man, it’s been tough to update this on the right day of the week…
I’m back (again) from traveling (again), and so am late (again) to update the tournament.
We had some tight battles this week, with some not-so-surprising results. All of my names have now been knocked out of the tournament but one. You [...]
Whew. What a week.
We’re having so much fun in Golden, we’re a day late updating the competition.
So let’s get caught up: You guys are all crazy. In all but 3 of the sixteen pairings, you people chose Sarah’s names over mine. Even on Mason vs. Mason. What’s the matter with you people?
I guess I’m going [...]
Friends, Family, Ladies and Gentlemen, the 2nd Annual Gupta Family Baby Name Face-off has begun!
The tournament consists of 32 names: 16 picked by Rahul and 16 picked by Sarah. We asked Tatiana if she had any ideas, and she said “ackitow” (which translates to “tractor”), so we decided she wasn’t taking this seriously enough.

Now, I won’t say our tournament is quite as prestigious as, say, Wimbledon, but with over 70 voters, I must say it was a more successful tournament than I had expected.
Now, without further ado, the winner of the First Annual(?!) Baby Name Face-off:
Amelie
Amelie faced a host of tough competitors, but when it came to the [...]
Well, I guess you all proved me wrong.
Natalie beat Jasmine.
Let’s see who else Natalie beat to get here: Circe, Noemi, Alia
Amelie (of course) beat out Grace.
Let’s see who else Amelie beat to get here: Claudette, Lily, Jasmine
In both cases it looks like they got a free pass on the first round, but the competition got [...]
Seriously, people?
Grace and Natalie over Penelope and Alia?
Seriously?
Well, at lease Alia was close to making it…
At any rate, here we are down to the final four. It appears if we’ve got a couple of Dark Horses going up against a certain fan favorite, Amelie, and the most divisive name in the tournament, Jasmine.
It seems [...]
