It's time to vote for your favorite names for one of Beauty and Dot.ca's Eyases!
The polls are open! We received 60 terrific name suggestions. The Rfalconcam's Naming Committee evaluated all submissions and pared them down to 7 names in each of the three categories: male, female, and gender-neutral. (The committee had planned...

The results are in!
Winning male name:
Mercury
with 35 votes.
Winning female name:
Christa
with 12 votes.
Winning gender-neutral name:
Genesee
with 32 votes.
What does this mean?
One of the three eyases will be given the winning name from either the appropriate gender-specific poll or the gender-neutral poll, whichever received the most votes.
If the eyas is male, he will be given the name Mercury because it received more votes than Genesee.
If the eyas is female, she will be given the name Genesee because it received more votes than Christa.
The eyas and its three siblings will be named when they are banded.
Although Christa will not be used this year, it is still a great name for a falcon, and we'd like to thank George Liebmann of Greensboro, North Carolina for submitting it.
The names of the people who submitted Mercury and Genesee will be announced at banding.

Good names but disappointing that more don't participate.

OK. I am a doof. But I have a question: We have 3 top names, and 4 eyases. Where do the other names come from, if we are not using all of the Top 3? Who provides the "extra" names? Seems to me we have 3 names already, and need a 4th... but what do I know!!! Anyway... Ta!
Slainte!

We are only naming 1 eyas. If the 1st one is female, it will be Genesee, if the 1st one is male, it will be Mercury! I think that is how it's done! Shaky correct me?

I think Doof would be a good name for a falcon.

Our dog answers to Goofus more than Sparky....
Ok I don't understand. Males are males, females are females (so far I understand), but I thought gender-neutral was if another name was needed or it wasn't determined for sure on male/female. If a male would be Mercury, why would a female go by the gender-neutral name and not the female name that came out on top? I realize Genesee was second by total votes, but why use a name designated at gender-neutral if it didn't have to be? It just doesn't seem right.
