This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Reddest vs Bluest american baby names. Note these are NOT the most common names. Just the names with the biggest red-blue state prevalence divide. (infosec.pub)

Why are all those red names so utterly horrible?

Are you seriously calling your boy Gunner? Why not... idk... Carpet? Or Computer? Or Bottle?

Imagine your statement, but change red to blue.

Would that be okay to say?

Yes! Absolutely yes! Gunner is a horrible name, as is Baylor. If you think this is political, that's your problem. It's not my fault if the most horrible names are mostly red.

The point being names are just names.

And your opinion is just yours.

Try to be nicer, and you may end up happier for it.

Did you call your kid Gunner or are you just trying to get offended on the internet?

You're not wrong, but that's a weird hill to defend.
