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)

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.

I noticed that trend in my red state a while ago. So many Reagans and Jacksons. One time my kid had a Stallone in her class.
