Is your baby name red or blue?

Yes, even baby names are political now, apparently. A new study by baby naming site Nameberry pulled the top 500 baby names in the U.S. and analyzed which of those names were chosen predominantly in states that voted Republican (red) or Democrat (blue) in the 2024 presidential election. Some of the results truly defied expectations.

The baby name trends aren't just about conservative v. liberal.

According to Nameberry, the reddest baby names "set forth an American ideal deeply rooted in the land and family heritage" while also rebelling "against naming conventions around gender, spelling, and the very definition of a first name."

Nameberry says the bluest baby names "celebrate America as a melting pot while also honoring tradition" using a "diverse range of international, historical, and religious sources."

Nameberry creator Pamela Redmond said, “Our findings show an America deeply divided on baby names.”

Nameberry discovered a few fascinating trends:

The top blue names are 84% derived from non-English sources, while 90% of the reddest names have English origins.
All of the top red boy names (and almost half of the reddest girl names) are last names used as first names.
Over 70 percent of bluest names have religious origins, but none of the reddest names do.
All of the bluest names have a traditional spelling while more than 25 percent of reddest names have unconventional spellings.
