The politics of names

It turns out that Democrats prefer certain first names, and Republicans prefer others. We encountered this phenomenon while building the name metrics for the Nametrix baby names app.

Of male names that are at least fairly common, the most Democratic are Jonahand Malik, and the most Republican are Delbert and Duane.

For females, the most Democratic are Natasha and Maya, and the most Republican are Bailey and Brittney.
