2010 Name of the Year Bracket
I didn't see anything already posted, but the 2010 Name of the Year bracket is out. And it's awesome.

The number one overall seed has got to be a shoe-in to win. Nohjay Nimpson.
Also, I'm proud to say I made a post on this very site claiming God's Power Offor as the best name ever...and he also made the bracket as a 1-seed. Along with Wave Ryder.

Is a great name, too bad he's at TTU
Not sure how I didn't know that. I'll be paying a little closer attention now.
Dick Smallberries, Jr. for the win.
He's my choice, best three seed in the bracket by a mile.
My darkhorse to win it all is Spartacus Bernstein...
The Jewish accountant who led an uprising of Greek slaves against the Roman republic.
Am I doing this right?
My favorite so far is X'Zavier Bloodsaw. Is anyone going to run a Bracket Challenge for this? I'd have X'Zavier versus Dick Smallberries JR and Aristotle Socrates versus Flavious Killebrew in the final four.
I still doubt the validity of Lolita Respectnothing. I feel like that's not their birth name.
I have the same feeling about Charity Beaver.
I agree. Respectnothing can't be a real last name. I also don't like some of the seeding. Spontaneous Gordon is a sweet name, but no one seed in my opinion. I don't think he (she?) will make it past Gregor Schwinghammer Jr in the second round...
I don't know... Spontaneous Gordon has a certain ring to it. I like the ones where there's a normal last name made magnificent by the first name.
Iowa LB Pat Angerer is present, BTW. I didn't think Angerer was that uncommon of a surname to warrant inclusion.
Michigan has a representative with the same last name.

Given the polarizing nature of politics, she might have been a better choice for that name than an Iowa LB.
good people. But she's a little weak in zone drops.
I like to tell myself that some of these parents didn't realize what they did until much after the fact. Like Rich Tanguy. I picture someone making a joke about their son being a rich and tan guy and each of them slapping their foreheads in unison.
Also, Nohjay Nimpson- born in 1989. I'm curious how her parents reacted on June 12, 1994...
I doubt Tanguy is actually pronounced like "tan guy." The second syllable probably rhymes with "me".
On this note I will pledge my full support for Special Jennings.
It might be a real name. She is a member of the Sioux, and they sometimes have last names along those lines. A couple of years ago there was a DL recruit (also of Sioux background, I believe) named Evan Points At Him:

Banana Yaya and Starzanne Stipes are harder for me to believe.
Some friends and I filled one out. Our final four was Stalin Felipe, Dick Smalberries Jr., Pamela Balls Organista, and Just-in'love Smith. Stalin Felipe took down the cinderella Pamela Balls Organista in the finals, which pitted a dude from Harlem who was arrested for rape against a U San Fran psychology professor.
God's Power Offor, they need to stop including sports figures or their never going to get other winners.
Foxy Foxworth.
By the way, I really, really knew a woman named Candy Jackson, who married a Korean man and is (was) named Candy Ho.
Define "really, really knew a woman"...
Sounds like a ho to me...
Where's our man O'Neil Depreist Swanson III, or is that too Masterpiece Theater-ish to make the bracket?
In my opinion, Dr. Nutz is seeded far too low at 10. He should be a 3 or 4 at worst.
Also, gotta love the oxymoronic name of King Jamell Modest. Actually, I don't know. I guess a king could be modest.
Finally, Can Du.
The name says it all! She lives 5 doors down and runs by the house every morning, and I am there for her support!
(Second cousin to Charity Beaver?)
Two consecutive mailboxes on River Road in Flushing Michigan
C.A. Dick
B.A. Dick
Probably State fans.
Can we make a push to enter Taco Pants?
= ineligible...

How did Dick Dong Wang not win in 2006?
Do they have a porn region? (Since he's not in the Chrotchtangle, I guess that doesn't count).
Pepi Hamburger? Someone was a big Belushi fan...
Man, that Dragonwagon region is stacked...
Selathious Bobo...have Sith Lord, half Clown. Pamela Balls Organista...another Star Wars reference, I think. And Can Du. I wonder if his brother's name is Will.
