It’s time for another round of narrowing down the many, many name submitted to AppMtn to determine which ones to profile! The top two finishers will be profiled on February 14 and February 15 of this year.
A quick apology to V – I’d originally written that I would include Gemma in this poll. You’ll notice that I have not done so. The good news is that I’ve already written about her here!

Is Raffery supposed to be Rafferty…? I was going to vote for that one but wasn’t sure if it was a typo or not.
YES! Rafferty … fixing it now.
Except that you already covered Rafferty just last May
The link on the boys master list isn’t up for Rafferty, but I remembered because it’s one of my favorite names!

Sigh … this poll is not turning out as planned … okay, top two except for Rafferty …
All of these are exceedingly strange. Interesting as words alone, but if I were a teacher reading these off the roll call every day, I would be pretty horrified.
Now I’m curious about Merrisa… I have a good friend Marisa (not Marissa).
