On Monday, I posted a recap of wide-ranging discussions and debates that resulted from what I thought was a modest proposal to change the name of the “Jack & Jill” contest. I closed my post with a poll asking people what alternative name for the “Jack & Jill” they preferred.

Nearly 400 of you voted in our poll over the past two days! I’ll reveal the results, including all the names proposed. I’ll also share some of the interesting developments that have resulted from this conversation.

The Results

We received 386 votes for alternative names for the “Jack & Jill.” Amazing!

As a reminder, this was not a referendum on whether or not you wanted the name to be changed. If you like the name as it is, more power to you. It was also not to decide on the new “official” name for the contest formerly known as the “Jack & Jill.” None of us have that kind of authority. It was intended as a helpful barometer for organizers and others to know what alternative names are popular. At the end of the day, individual organizers are going to do what they feel makes the most sense for their event and their audience (as you will see below).

With that long-winded proviso, here’s the results!
