I wish they had name counts. I'm curious if there are like seven of each or seven thousand.

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?

All the red names sound like last names to me
As a non-american, WTF with those red names?!? Those are not first names or even word that exist in others countries/languages? Are they AI generated or what? Poor kids...
To be fair, a lot of names don't exist in other languages, or at least stay the same across different languages.

That's why I used Muhammad on my fake ID.
Was it between that and McLovin?
It's odd to see very Jewish names at the top of both the blue and the red lists of boy names.
Jews : We're calling our child by the traditional Jewish name of Moishe
Repubs : The old testament kicks ass, I'm going to name my kid Methusullah
Fucking Zebulon
I don't think the reds know that Cohen is a Jewish name.
So this is just binary red/blue? Seems iffy given how diverse states are (eg there are about as many Republican voters in "blue" California or in "red" Florida because California is way larger). I wonder what this would look like at the county level...
Comparing states without county-level resolution is mostly useless. Had several people a few threads ago say Illinois is progressive. No, Chicagoland is progressive, rest of the state is almost all red.
Florida is less deep red than I would have expected.
There’s a ton of snowbirds from New England there.
