Name of the Year presents the official ballot for the 2007 Name of the Year tournament. The competition is stiff this year, with 64 of the most outlandish (and real) names on the planet. The four regional brackets are seeded and ready for you to download. The number one seeds are Mario Hilario, Vanilla Dong, Yourhighness Morgan, and Intelligent Infinite Botts. But somehow, this guy didn’t make the cut. Personally, I like Lt. Col. Wisdom Bleboo, and not just because of his name. He’s a commander of African peacekeeping forces in Darfur.

How did Luscious Pusey not make the cut?
Always loved Lili Von Shtupp.
"A wed wose. How womantic."
I looked through the archives, and found that Lucious is very unhappy about publicity surrounding his name, so the tournament people decided to honor his wishes. The actual post is much more entertaining than the previous sentence.
There's a guy here in Nashville with the name "Major Wang".
I worked with a guy recently who's name was Richard Tutching. Yes, really. What were his parents thinking?
Oh, well, my father's name is/was Dick Dick. Really. And I knew a gynecologist named Seymour Kuntz, and his wife is named Rosie. I'm totally not lying, either.
