scottmlewis: Xavier and Isaiah Move into the Finals! As you well know, getting the final two set has taken a while. To explain, let’s start with this: Felix was an important contender from the beginning. Despite the images the name conjures among some of cats and comedians, I found the name both unique and classic. Of course, it has an “x” as well. But ultimately, with Xavier’s momentum heading into the finals, only a true contender, a tough guy, a powerhouse, would have a chance of beating the X-Man. And that powerhouse is Isaiah. There simply aren’t many names with a 2:1 vowel-to-consonant ratio. Nor are there many as unique and classical as Isaiah. If I were to fight someone named Isaiah, I’d be unable to sleep. If I had to debate someone named Isaiah, I’d have a nervous stomach. Xavier better be prepared. Many have asked us whether we will ultimately, indeed, choose the winner of the bracket for our baby’s name. Not necessarily. But it will have a hell of a chance. And it will have survived the most methodical system of comparing it to other contenders we could think of.
