James is 53/47 Republican, with a little over 50% owning guns, 55% attending church, and 52.5% having a college degree.


The most Republican name I can find is Tagg at 69.6%, the most Democratic name I found is Shaniqua at 89.2%.

[Antonio the Sixth]

72.9% D, 27.1% R

"6.8% have a more Democratic name, 93.1% have a less democratic name" (though I'm not sure what that means )

[ElectionsGuy]

53.8% R, 46.2% D.
9.9% have a more republican name, 90.1% have a more democratic name
48.6% Have a gun in their house
55.5% Attend religious services weekly
54.3% Have a college degree

Good stuff here.

I played around a little, a lot of it seems to be based on gender (and race too). Having a name like Buck or Shekelia would obviously throw things off a bit, but nice find on your part (how did you come up with those names??)

The most common name is Michael, by the way, quickly followed by John and James.

[SWE]

Zachary is 52/48 Republican

My first name:


The name I prefer to go by:

53.4% R 46.6% D
89.0% have a more Democratic name
48.6% have a gun in their house
49.7% attend religious services weekly
58.2% have a college degree

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

My first name:
55.5% D
35.6% have a more Democratic name
51.6% have a gun in their house
52.2% attend religious services weekly
47.9% have a college degree

My middle name:
56.4% D
31.2% have a more Democratic name
44.5% have a gun in their house
44.3% attend religious services weekly
56.9% have a college degree

Playing around with the names of my family I noticed that oddly the female names were all significantly less likely to attend weekly services.  That seems odd.  If anything, females usually attend church more often than men.

75% of those named Hitler are registered Republican, while 75% of those named Gandhi or Jesus are registered Democrats.
Does that mean that Republicans are per definition three times more evil than Democrats? An interesting philosophical question.

Also, 82% named Obama are Democrats. 67% named Glory are Democrats. A clear majority of those named Hope are Democrats.

[Hatman 🍁]

Most Democratic name I can find so far: Ladasha 88%; for Republicans I got Saxby at 67%

[jimrtex]

The most Republican name I can find is Tagg at 69.6%, the most Democratic name I found is Shaniqua at 89.2%.

Conventional names tend to be more Republican.

That's why

Sheniqua 90.2%
Shaniqwa 89.8%
and
Shanniqua 89.8%

Are more Democratic than

Shaniqua 89.2%

[jimrtex]

75% of those named Hitler are registered Republican, while 75% of those named Gandhi or Jesus are registered Democrats.

Actually Hitler is 71% Democrat, Demon is 85% Democrat.

91.2% of registered voters named Fabulous are Democrats.  Which makes little sense, considering there are only 10 registered voters named Fabulous.  Why isn't the percentage a multiple of 10?  I guess there must be some independents/non-registered party Fabulouses.  But you can't get 91.2% with 8/9 or 7/8 or anything less than 12 people.  Something's not right.

Only 31% of people named God attend religious services weekly.  86% are Democrats.

Given how that site's statistics peg everyone as either a Republican or a Democrat, independents are likely being tagged as a mixture of Republican and Democrat.

Mick (the name I usually go by):

• 50.8% Republican/49.2% Democratic

Is "Mick" the most impartial name?

EDIT: "Norbert" (in the header at the top) is 50.5% Republican/49.5% Democratic

[Miles]

Miles is 53/47 Democratic. 47% have a gun (which I do), 52% go to church weekly (not quite), 55% have a college degree (I will in a few months).

[ilikeverin]

Christopher: 51%/49% R

Other names in my immediate family...

Patrick: 50%/50% R
Douglas: 57%/43% R
Margaret: 54%/46% D

My parents did a pretty good job of picking names that average out their names' political leanings

[jimrtex]

The most Republican name I can find is Tagg at 69.6%, the most Democratic name I found is Shaniqua at 89.2%.

Most Republican common name (1343rd) that I can find is Boyd.

59.2% R.
53.6% have a gun.
61.4% attend church weekly.
38.7% chew tobacco.
78.2% say NASCAR is their favorite sport.

Gordon (409th) is 56.5% Republican

[nclib]

Paul - 52.4% R / 47.6% D

Gun - 48.9% do (I don't)
Church - 51.8% (I don't)
College Degree - 55.7% (I do)

A lot of this is merely a function of race and gender. I wonder what the most Democratic male name is, that isn't usually associated with minorities.

[jimrtex]

56.8% of Demon's, and 85.3% of Rat's are Demonrats.

91.5% of Dope's are Democrats.

Virginia is 53.5% Democrat, which is pretty close to Obama's total in 2008 in Virginia.

Maxime:

75.0% Dem - 25.0% Rep.
45.0% have a gun.
31.9% attend religious services weekly.
55.3% have a college degree.

Wierdly, while not being American, I'm always in the majority.
