It is official! The clear frontrunner in the boy’s category has sailed off with the victory. The 2012 March Madness champion for boys is Arthur, leaving Rhys is the dust. On the girls’ side, Genevieve handily won, beating Eliza by more than thirty votes. She’s something of a surprise, since Adelaide seemed poised to walk away with […]

I’m not sure what to think about the Boys’ Final this year. On the one hand, any of the Final Four would’ve been a smidge more exciting than 2011’s winner, the likeable but slightly ordinary Nathaniel. On the other hand, the slightly stodgy Arthur solidly beat out the folksy-modern Arlo, and the more conventionally masculine […]

Color me astonished! Genevieve took out Adelaide in the semi-finals. I’d been imagining Adelaide and Arthur the big winners for this year’s tourney, but on the girls’ side, that’s not to be. It was less of a surprise to see Eliza take down Annika. While Annika has her fans, Eliza is tough to beat – as […]

Here come the girls! Frances, Coco, Emmeline, Oona, Carys, Mireille, Pomeline, and Boheme all fell in the first round. A few of those surprised me, but when you look at the ones that made it through, it is slightly less surprising. Mila versus Adelaide Annika versus Sabine Eliza versus Elowen Eugenie versus Genevieve

The results are in for the first eight match-ups! A fond farewell to many a popular name, including Remy, Camden, Crew, Orrin, Tate, Nolan, Emrys, and Phoenix. I’m already start to speculate on this year’s big winner, the one that will claim the crown bestowed upon Nathaniel in 2011. I’m not ready to share my […]

Were you counting up the total number of polls in the girls’ post? No? Me neither. So I inadvertently left Carys versus Genevieve out of the original March Madness 2012: Girls’ Opening Round post. Once more, with feeling – please vote!
