The American Idol Name Awards

Kris Allen managed to beat Adam Lambert and become the new American Idol in the show's eighth season Wednesday night.  He joins the show's seven previous winners: David Cook, Jordin Sparks, Taylor Hicks, Carrie Underwood, Fantasia Barrino, Ruben Studdard and Kelly Clarkson.  Both Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood have won multiple Grammy Awards, Jordin Sparks has won an American Music Award and Fantasia Barrino has won a Billboard Music Award.  Putting aside each singer's talent, how would you vote if the winner was determined by name?  Out of the list of winners, the name Fantasia stands out to us, but what if we consider all of the top twelve contestants each season?  Here are our votes for Best Name Award listed by season:

  1. Season 1: Ejay
  2. Season 2: Trenyce
  3. Season 3: Camile
  4. Season 4: Vonzell
  5. Season 5: Mandisa
  6. Season 6: Sanjaya
  7. Season 7: Syesha
  8. Season 8: Anoop

What name each season would you vote for?
