March Madness Baby Names 2025: Girls Final

March has flown by!

Just as that other March Madness is reaching a fever pitch, here we are, ready to vote in our very own final round.

First, a reminder. The winning names will join a long and distinguished list.

PAST WINNERS OF MARCH MADNESS BABY NAMES

• Nathaniel and Louisa in 2011
• Arthur and Genevieve in 2012
• Archer and Isla in 2013
• Everett and Cora in 2014
• Finn and Cora in 2015*
• Theodore and Sylvie in 2016
• Leo and Wren in 2017
• Rowan and Eliza in 2018
• Arlo and Margot in 2019
• Caspian and Tess in 2020
• Raphael and Magnolia in 2021
• August and Marigold in 2022
• James and Gemma in 2023
• Callum and Maisie in 2024

* indicates that Cora won back-to-back championships. I couldn’t decide how I felt about defending a title, so I asked the audience. You agreed that it was best if any winning name was permanently retired from competition.

RESULTS OF THE SEMIFINAL MATCHES

With a little over 65% of the vote, Alice advances. Calista is flat-out gorgeous, but classic Alice is a storybook name with plenty of strength. It’s been barreling past the competition all March.

All-flowers Flora earned nearly 63% of the total against Poppy. I really wasn’t sure which way this one would go. But since Cora is the only two-time champ, maybe we’re just wild about -ora names?

That means our very final match-up is set. Your vote decides!
