March Madness 2015: Girls Quarter Finals

March 14, 2015 By appellationmountain 5 Comments

March Madness 2015What an exciting opening round! The competitors in March Madness Baby Names for girls behaved more predictably than the boys – at least from my point-of-view. There were also more landslide victories in the girls’ opening round – four stunning defeats, versus just two for the gentlemen.

Here are the results:

  • Top seed Elodie (#1) is still in the hunt, crushing Noa (#16) with over 75% of the vote.
  • Rising favorite Everly (#2) also advances, smashing rarer-than-rare Pluma (#15) with better than 76% of the vote.
  • This next one was too close to call for much of the week, but gentle nature name Wren (#3) ultimately won out over the literary Esme (#14) by around five points.
  • Defending champ Cora (#4) is still alive, besting sentimental favorite Imogen (#13).
  • This was a big upset: Southern belle Magnolia (#12) bested Tolkein-invented Eowyn (#5) with more than 73% of the vote.
  • Girls helped take Lena (#6) to the victory over Nadia (#11).
  • The Biblical Selah (#7) just bested the Dutch Anneke (#10) by a mere three percentage points.
  • Lastly, Mira (#8) trounced Soraya (#9) with more than 76% of the vote.

    I hate Elodie. I loved Noa. I love Mira too… hopefully it lasts a little longer.

    I was so hoping for Esme. But my other favorite is still in the running… Fingers crossed!

    Elodie is a pretty sound, but reminds me too much of the grilled corn on the cob with cream sauce- “elotes”. Every street corner in a Mexican neighborhood in Chicago has vendors hawking them in nice weather. Delicious, but not something I’d name a child.
