Balard Michner has decided to consider changing his name.

Please rank your preference for each name below through a reply to the post.

The votes will be ranked using a point system. The name with the lowest points will be selected as Balard's name for the rest of the calendar year.

In the new year another vote will take place to see if perceptions have changed with the movements of the moon and general feelings related to Christmas and 'holidays.'

Your first selection gets 1 point, second selection 2 points, third selection 3 points. This is not a first-past-the-post system. We are democrats, not a mob.

BONUS: if you propose a random fourth name possibility and the group unanimously decides it is better you will get a free hat and the name will be used for a day.
