Here it is, the much anticipated and awaited Baby Bracket.
How it came to be:
Many of our decisions are made by the process of elimination, we make a list and remove the least desirable option and go back and forth until only one remains, this is done with restaurants, movies, what to do on the weekend, etc. The expectation was that this may be how all decisions would likely be made for us. But that all changed when we found out (with our first child) we were having a boy right when March Madness was starting up. And it became clear. If we could create our lists independently, combine them, and then together narrow it down to the top 16 we(I) could create a bracket and pit each name head to head to weigh the strengths and weakness of each one to find the perfect name to bestow upon our child for their whole life, or until they are old enough to legally change it on their own.
When our second child’s due date happened to be in March it gave me an excuse to create a baby bracket another time. Now my excuse is that it wouldn’t be fair to use what is now a proven method on our first 2 children and not our third.
Rules:
The only brackets that matter our the parents of the child. Names not on the bracket can be submitted for honorable mention, but never and in no way substituted for a name on the bracket. The only real winner is the child who’s name we are selecting, for so much thought and effort will have gone into it that clearly it will be the best name a child could hope/dream of. The parents are in no way bound by the brackets or rules once the baby is born and a name must be placed on the birth certificate before leaving the hospital.
You can submit your brackets if you wish, or keep them to keep track of how you do. (Only the winning name counts no other rounds receive points).
