A recent study by Nameberry analyzed the top 500 baby names in the U.S. and identified trends based on political affiliations in states that voted Republican or Democrat in the 2024 election. The results indicate that ‘red’ names reflect deep-rooted American ideals with English origins and often unconventional spellings, while ‘blue’ names celebrate diversity and tradition with a significant percentage derived from non-English sources. Pamela Redmond, creator of Nameberry, noted a clear divide in baby naming trends reflective of broader societal divisions.
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."
