Baby Name Results


Votes are coming in for our child’s name! It's a girl, and the survey has been updated accordingly. The current leaders from the voting thus far are shown below, though this is by no means conclusive. We’ve had a total of 5,262 votes for boys’ names and 4,830 votes for girls’ names. Keep it up!

Please vote on our updated survey here!

If you would like to take an extended survey to increase your influence, or if you’d like the opportunity to add names to the list to voted upon, I've created a survey where you can vote 95 times and also see the 195 names that are currently available. Take it here!

Thanks, and for the person with the most votes by the time our baby is born, we’ll name our pet goldfish after you… or something like that.

  1. OK, I have only one small issue with the survey, on occasion there are two names pitted against each other and I don't like either of them. But I'm sure your algorithm takes that into account. Good luck!

  2. Yes, the algorithm is weighted and takes into account which names a specific name has been up against. There are plenty of times I've had to choose "the lesser of two evils." ;) Eventually we'll narrow it down to the 64 best names for Baby Name March Madness - but until then, there will be plenty of names I don't like that still show up.
