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. (lemmy.world)

How can Mohammad, the most common name on Earth, be 3rd highest and yet McLovin isn't even charted? 🤔

But also: Give it up for Baylor and Saylor Moon!

In Britain they tend to count the variant spellings as different names - I’ve worked places with so many Mohammeds they went by their middle names.

Similar thing at my job. US-based, but lots of immigrant engineers in my office and some overseas teams too. No shortage of Mohammads, Mohammeds, and Muhammads, plus a few Mahmouds in there for good measure.
