It's odd to see very Jewish names at the top of both the blue and the red lists of boy names.

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?

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 gets me is that Cohen shows up twice for republican boys (that last name is like Smith for Jewish people)
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.

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

And isn't Stetson a fucking hat?
