Baby Name Bracket Contest

Hello faithful readers of two posts,

The NCAA tournament is over but there is a more awesome tournament play that will start, the baby boy Chan name bracket. When we found out that we were expecting, Garrett and I talked about names and what we liked and disliked. At that time, we seemed to agree upon girl names that are not useful to us at this moment. So we are in need of boy name ideas.

We will be setting up a 64 name bracket in the upcoming weeks. There will be four "regions" aka categories: Biblical names, Historical/Literary names, International names and common names. We will be accepting suggestions, recommendations and ideas. We will take those ideas and give each name a seed for their bracket.

One disclaimer for name recommendations: if you know of a friend that has the name, we will probably not place the name in the bracket. We like unique and profound names. =)

You may post your name suggestions in the comments or email them to garrett or me. Once the bracket is complete, the next stage is voting on which name wins each "game." So get those names in, so we can start the second phase. The tournament ends when we reach the Elite Eight. Then it will be up to the parents, aka garrett and i, to make the final decisions. =)

  1. I'm posting names that Chin has already vetoed for our future children's names. If you think they're weird, maybe use them as middle names? :)
