Three polls have been posted (male name, female name, gender-neutral name). The voting period expires Thursday.

One of this year's eyases will be given either an appropriate gender-specific name or a gender-neutral name, whichever receives the most votes. In case of a tie, the number of times each of the 2 names was submitted will be used as a tie breaker. If that is a tie too, a coin will be flipped.

A voting tip: if you really like a particular female name, don't vote for a gender-neutral name too. You'll be canceling out your vote. The eyas will get a gender-neutral name or a gender-specific name, whichever gets the most votes.

The answer is yes. Although unique names are preferred, there are limits to what can be done. So there is the chance of repeating a name that was used elsewhere. A recent example of this is Orion.
