Mildly Interesting

Conclusion: Tragedeighs are more likely to be issued by conservative nutjobs than leftie snowflakes.

What's the plan with Collins as a first name... for a girl, even? They just really big fans of latter-day Genesis in red states?

So the bluer names are ethnic and the redder names are terrible. Interesting trend.

All those red names remind me of r/tragedeigh on Reddit.

Stetson - cowboy hats.
Briggs (& Stratton) - outboard motors.
Oakley (in three different spellings) - redneck eyewear of choice.

Conservatives are one generation away from naming their kids shit like Winchester, Remington, Walmart, and Budlight.

"Dad, what was I named after?"

"I really liked those sunglasses that cops wear, and your mom likes spelling stuff weird to feel fancy, so naturally we called you Oakleigh!"

Moshe? Kohen? Baylor???

Multiple versions of "Oak"???

I don't understand these names

Ugh. Fucking Oakleys. The worst.

As a parent in a red state, I've noticed way more last names as first names than what I grew up with. This seems to match that trend.

What i learn from this is that there are a lot of Muslims in blue states and that everyone is naming their daughters some variation of Oakley in red states.

Stetson? Like... the hat?

Bruh.

I suppose its better then naming their kid Fedora.

Fascinating that in the female category, blue has no names ending with the "ee" sound, and in the red category, there's no names ending in the "ah" sound.

... Miriam is making a come back?

Eustace! Leave that poor dog alone!

And then also... jesus fuck, the right wing 2A crowd is now I guess just naming their kids 4 or 5 different variations of their favorite overpriced 'cool but also tactical' glasses?

I guess it makes sense for a Republican approach to daughters; literally just accessories they own so they can self-actualize via consumerism and performative conformity.

... Also I can only hope male Nico just barely making the list is from people who played GTA 4 and actually realized his entire story is a thorough evisceration of the concept of the American Dream.

Rise of the -leighs, -lees, and -dens.

Some weird names there. Gunner and Baylor?

Red state baby girls be named after Guy Fieri’s wraparound sunglasses.

Briggs and Stratton next to each other on the red state list is too funny.

Lol @ Stetson

If Saylor and Baylor get together, do you think their relation-ship is gonna sink? Or will it be smooth sailing?

Why are all those red names so utterly horrible?

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

Four different versions of shitty overpriced sunglasses favored by insecure man children? That tracks.

I find it interesting how Muslim and Jewish the blue names are while the red ones are certainly rural coded. Kayla being blue was a bit surprising as it's just normal though I do think college educated liberal when I picture a Kayla. Paige is definitely an odd one there.

Lead poisoning leads to some dumb names

I’d assume that someone named Hattie has stories about living through the Great Depression.

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

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!

All the red names sound like last names to me
