Of course, just going by registration leaves out almost half the country, so I'm not sure this is entirely accurate.  But anyway, mine is 60% D and 40% R.  I was surprised to see that there are 1,102 registered voters with it (and it's the 7,977th most common name.)

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.

The description of their methodology is a bit opaque, but it seems from their description that there is some kind of sampling-based predictive modeling rather than a complete list of all voters.

655th most common name.

53.2% D, 46.8% R.
47.8% Have a gun in their house
51.8% Attend religious services weekly
52.2% Have a college degree

So I guess my name is like the Colorado/Virginia of America.

Homer: 51% R, 75th percentile R, 55% gun/59% religious services/44.5% college
Bart: 59% R, 99.6th percentile R, 49/57/57
Marge: 53% D, 48th percentile R, 54/34/46
Lisa: 53% D, 50th percentile R, 53/37/56
Maggie: 66% D, 15th percentile R, 55/33/49

Quite a diverse lot. Some correlation with the characters but not a lot. Notably, Bart is very Republican and fairly educated too.

The most Democratic name I've found so far is Anthwan, which is 93.4% Democratic.  It's not a very common spelling of Antwan - only 21 registered voters have it.

Not surprisingly, the African-American sounding names are the most Democratic, and the less commonly spelled names are usually more Democratic than the more commonly spelled names.

Adam (my first name and forum name) is one of the narrowest party affiliation names on here. Luckily, it tilts Democratic with 50.2% and Republicans make up 49.8% of registered Adams's.

There are 397,009 voters with my name and it's the 117th most common name. Impressive!

45.2% have a gun in their house (For anyone who knows my view on guns, I obviously don't lol)
50.2% attend religious services weekly (I don't)
57.2% have a college degree (I don't yet)

You are well educated.   Alternative spelling are less likely to have a college degree.
