I love NOTY. Every March, the guys over at the Name of the Year blog put together a ballot (à la “March Madness” brackets) featuring crazy-but-real names. After several rounds of voting, a Name of the Year is chosen.
Brilliant, really.
Past winners have included Nimrod Weiselfish, Princess Nocandy and Spaceman Africa.
Here’s a link to the official 2009 Name of the Year Ballot. I’ve picked out my final four, and I just got my husband to pick out his:
| “Region” | Her picks | His picks |
|
Bulltron Dragonwagon Sithole Chrotchtangle |
Crystal Metheny Velvet Milkman Nutritious Love Telephone Mtoko |
Chastity Clapp Uranus Golden Nutritious Love Moonlit Wang |
Ultimately, I think Nutritious Love will take the title. Husband seems to agree. (He’s too busy giggling at the names to give me a straight answer.)
What are your picks for the final four? Which name will win the entire competition?

My final four: Chew Kok, Uranus Golden, Nutritious Love, and Moonlit Wang. My winner is Chew Kok. Couldn’t get my husband to try it. :P
Another Nutritious Love fan!
I’m seriously thinking about putting some money down on that one. :)
The polls are now open, so everyone head over to NOTY and cast your votes!
