Is Taco B.M. Monster. Of course it's Taco B.M. Monster.
What were we thinking those scant 13 months ago when we gave Taco B.M. Monster a No. 2 seed? Did we actually believe the Dutch pharmacoepidemiologist bore an inferior name to any of the No. 1's—Monquarius Mungo (a pale imitation of 2009 NOTY Barkevious Mingo), Atticus Disney, stonegarden grindlife or La'Peaches Pitts? Did we?
Did we honestly not foresee that the author of "Oral Contraceptive Use and Hormone Replacement Therapy Are Associated With Microalbuminuria" would be Amsterdammed if he didn't don a clog and stomp the opposition into submission?
We did not. But then we always, foolishly, underestimate the power of a well-placed scatological onomastic reference. And a taco. And a monster. Especially when juxtaposed.
Let's recap. Dr. Monster ran roughshod over the field. Down went Florida murder victim Commie Spead. Then it was retired Lutheran preacher the Rev. Demon Sox. If ever we thought Taco B.M. Monster would be threatened, it was in a Wrestlemania-style Sweet 16 throwdown against wine merchant Monsterville Horton IV. Not even a speed bump. Elite 8: girlfriend attacker Vernon Lee Bad Marriage. Final Four: Neptune Pringle III.
And, finally, the final, a Nixonian 61-39 rout of Florida teen and fellow No. 2 seed Courvoisier Winetavius Richardson.
Welcome to the Hall of Champions, Taco B.M. Monster. Your fellow names stand and applaud.
(NOTY 2012 will commence soon. Or pretty soon. Soon-ish.)

Erm, Taco beat Mr. Pringle in the semis, not Ms. Negro.
The fact Ms Negro didn't make it further will always be the biggest disappointment of this tournament!
Speaking of which, will there be a "High Committee" NotY this year? It'd be nice to see Courvoisier or Madz or Vernon or La'Peaches get some lasting recognition.
Surely the NOTY community needs to know about this one:

I can't wait for the 2014 conclusion of the 2012 NOTY contest.
I'm Dutch, so I can't really judge this name objectively. Still, it's certainly worthy. Let's hear the HC pick, though!
Great to see a conclusion to this - Dr Monster a worthy winner. Not my favourite but a cracking name nontheless.
Seriously though it would be sad if this website ceased to exist so if you need help to run the 2013 comp please ask....
Doh! - meant to say 2012 NotY not 2013
confused - found my deceased mother's name on this list - hannelore (a german name, pronounced hannah lora) sweetwood - assuming that the authors were able, in a sophomoric giggling fit, to connote the word sweetwood as a penile reference (well done!) - but hannelore?? perhaps ur ivy league erudition did not extend to linguistics, and the german pronunciation was lost on u? i'm a pretty funny chick, but ya lost me on the humor in 'hannelore'.
tilly nibblet. now THATS a funny name. feel free to visit on facebook. entertaining (and celebrating:>) all friend requests.
Is it soon-ish yet? Please let it be soon-ish...
Please don't let NOTY die.
Are you taking nominations for next year?
Man, you guys really had something going here but you seem to have done everything you could in the last year and a half to kill its momentum.
when will it be soonish? Can you not entrust someone else to run the website so it gets done?
Nice blog, I really apprecialte the way you are sharing your experiences.

thanks for the posts.
PLEASE! We need an update! Even if it's just to tell us nobody is ever going to update the site ever again, we need to know!
Seriously. You don't understand how empty my life is. I need closure on this. :)
This is why many people are looking towards the health care industry as the solution to these problems.

From trendy names it is better to choose the powerful meaning names.
Hope in 2013 it will work.
