2016 GoobNet Name Championship: Brackets

Here are the brackets for the first GoobNet Name Championship, determining the best female name. The names have been allocated into the brackets based upon the seedings that we announced last week. We have selected our hosts from amongst some of the most well known literary settings. The regional semifinals and finals will be hosted by St Mary Mead, Tara, River Heights, and Wuthering Heights. The final two rounds will be hosted by Mansfield Park.

So, these are the brackets. Now it is your turn. Fill in your bracket by clicking the name that you prefer in each pair. Then advance through the rounds until you reach the final. At that point, you will have determined the best female name.

Note that you are under no obligation to give your children the name that wins in your bracket. Especially if your children already have names. Child development experts recommend not changing your children’s names once you have selected them. Not changing your children’s names promotes consistency and helps avoid confusion when people ask your children what their names are. Remember: When people ask your children what their names are, it is best if they know what the answer is.
