Thank you for the tremendous turnout in Round 1! Ninety-four of you voted... THANK YOU! And an additional thank you goes out to Appellation Mountain and Name News for posting links. I hope the trend continues with the next round!

Now down to the results. There were several very close matches as well as some blowouts. A couple of you have voted for both options on some of the matchups, so a few of the numbers do not equal 100%. Please remember next time to vote for one option! There was even a tie on one of the matchups... Carole vs. Sandra was close the entire week! So, I have to be the good/bad guy and break the tie. I know half of you will be happy with my pick!

Besides Carole/Sandra, check out Audrey/Viola, Ginger/Loretta, and Alec/Spencer! So close. Meanwhile, poor Annette, Thelma and Burgess couldn't break 20%. Were they so unlikable or are Vivien, Bette and Rhys that much stronger? I guess we'll see in the next round.

What do you think of the results? Any huge surprises or disappointments for you? Is there any name you are ecstatic it's still around?

Now on to Round 2!

You have until Sunday, December 14 to vote. Please vote only once and for only one name in each match. Winners of Round 2 and the ballot for Round 3 should be published on Monday, December 15. Have fun!
