"Here Are The Most Conservative And Liberal Names In America."

Doyle and Natasha.

And here's the tool to find out how conservative or liberal your name is. My name is a bit liberal. Meade's is superconservative if, in fact, that were his first name, which it's not. His first name tests out as, like mine, somewhat liberal.

4.1C

Ann Althouse म्हणाले...

Doyle's not conservative in Wisconsin, so… I've got a problem with this whole thing.

GREEBO म्हणाले...

have no information on my name
so I can still be a grouchy old conservative

Beldar म्हणाले...

I protest these rankings. They're not fair.

Growing up in west Texas, my big brother was Jim Bob and I was Billy Jack.

"Billy" is already #2 most conservative on the list. I respectfully submit that if given proper credit for my middle name, "Billy Jack" leapfrogs over Doyle for the top position.

And my name was conservative even before the Tom Laughlin movie came out (which was when I was a freshman in high school).

" is less likely to contribute to a political campaigns than other names."

You think?

Boris dahlink, vhy is your name not on list of people too racist to support Fearless Leader?

CachorroQuente म्हणाले...

This is pretty funny stuff.

My name turns out to be 5.2C. Expected as it's a name which was moderately popular early in the 20th century but is somewhat rare today.

Tried to find a conservative female name without success. Even Ursula (my grandmother's name) comes up as liberal.

Of men's names, Roosevelt came out the most liberal I could find. It ranks 9, but was probably eliminated from the top 20 for rarity.

The most conservative name found is Fort. So, some of Meade's relatives are named more conservatively than he.

Sargent, Captain, Major, and General are as predicted. Seems Harlan Sanders probably never gave money as Colonel does not return a result.

john म्हणाले...

Well, Lamar makes sense.

madAsHell म्हणाले...

My name says that I am not as conservative as the average Republican, and more than likely to contribute money.

My Wu Tang clan name was Big Gay Naughty Pirate.

So, something ain't right!!!

Moose = Conservative
Squirrel = Liberal

I ran my daddy's name: "Pledger"

Number one, baby!

10c+ and no name more conservative.

I suggest you try the 20 blackest girls names as ranked by ABC news:

Robert J. म्हणाले...

If the database were larger, the most liberal names would certainly be Quinoa and Chevron.

Birches म्हणाले...

5.2L, but I expected it. I've got an ethnic name.

My mom's name came up on the conservative side. It's a fairly dated name. Other dated names like Mildred and Blanche and Ethel are all probably on the Conservative side.

Unknown म्हणाले...

Sorry, we couldn't find data for that name, try another one.

='(

JohnG म्हणाले...

Try 'Nicholai'. Now I don't trust their database/app.

fivewheels म्हणाले...

Honestly, seems kind of dumb. But I was 3.4C, and more likely to contribute. I have made one very small monetary political contribution in my life, and that was virtually a joke (it was for Mickey Kaus' senate run).

Renee म्हणाले...

Type the names of myself and family. Defaulted on gender lines.

1099 names more liberal, 24 more conservative. Works for me.

Henry म्हणाले...

In flatland I'm way conservative.

Henry म्हणाले...

HAHAHAHA

Bob R म्हणाले...

Bob is 4.9C. I have to go to work and listen to morons talk about BIG DATA. This is a perfect way to start the day.

Bob Ellison म्हणाले...

"Bob": 4.9C
"Robert": 3.9C
"Rob": 1.3C
"Bobby": 7.5C
"Robbie": 2.4C
"Bobbie": 2.6C

I'd have thought "Bobby" would fall more to the left and that "Robert" would the leftmost permutation.

Bob Ellison म्हणाले...

Adolf is 5.1C! Clint, Wesley, and Don are more conservative.

Vladimir is 2.2C. Woodrow, 4.8C, Karl, 2.8C, Iosif, 2.3C.

Nancy is 1.8L.

This will make cocktail-partying much easier and more efficient.

sparrow म्हणाले...

I had the same experience as Renee , male names were conservative while female name were liberal.

Lauderdale Vet म्हणाले...

1.4 C here, wife was 4.4 L

Wish they let you download the dataset.

tim maguire म्हणाले...

Timothy is 2.3 C, Tim is 3.3 C

I guess because of all the gay Timothys.

Bob Ellison said...
Adolf is 5.1C!


Ooops, flag goes up.

tim maguire म्हणाले...

This is a good line:

You’ll notice there is a very stark gender divide! The liberal names generally sound like a group of women in their late 20s; the conservative names sound like the members of a large bluegrass band from the 1930s.

Of course, it is used to introduce the observation that liberals are hip and vibrant, happenin' youngsters while conservatives are tired old white farts.

Michael म्हणाले...

Michael is center right.

Original Mike म्हणाले...

But Mike is solidly conservative.

Original Mike म्हणाले...

Barack is so far off the charts they couldn't find it.

Balfegor म्हणाले...

Amusingly, Edward is moderately conservative, but Edouard is the 8th most liberal name in the list. Guillaume is the 3rd most liberal name, and William again, moderately conservative. Wilhelm is about where William is. Guillermo is slightly liberal.

Evidently liberals like French names.

Balfegor म्हणाले...

Sorry, let me correct that -- children with Frenchified names grow up to be liberals. Probably very few of the people in whatever sample they were using decided to change their names from Edward to Edouard as adults.

Bob Ellison म्हणाले...

Alexander: 2.2L
Alexandra: 8.4L

Patrick: 1.5C
Patricia: 1.5L

Jesse: 0.2C
Jessica: 7.5L

Micky: 2.2C
Micki: 2.7L

Samuel: 0.6C
Samantha: 6.8L

And then there's this:

Dale: 6.0C

Bob Ellison म्हणाले...

Ezra: 4.8L
Glenn: 4.8C
Helen: 0.3C
Jonah: 9.8L
George: 4.1C
Jonathan: 3.2L
Hugh: 4.3C
Michelle: 3.1L

Big Mike म्हणाले...

When your first name is a last name, the odds are you have a trust fund and are a "country club conservative."

If your first name is "Bubba" you are not.

There are exceptions.

Bob Ellison म्हणाले...

Henry, excellent research.

This is going to require a much larger team, and probably a federal grant. We must separate the Johns from the Ringoes, the Freds from the Gingers, and the Detlefs from the Dirks.

I'm exhausted already.

Shanna म्हणाले...

I had the same experience as Renee , male names were conservative while female name were liberal.

That makes sense actually.

Mine came out liberal but only just, at 1.4L. Basically middle ground.

"Mabel" and "Dorothy".

traditionalguy म्हणाले...

How about 7.6C which is stronger than 4.8C which is stronger than 4.2C.

That is the spectrum going from highest C at Jimmy to Jim to James.

Curious George म्हणाले...

Meh, kame, I mean hos can they not have Thistle

Stripper names are neither liberal nor conservative: strippers exist in their own continuum, at the center of which is a pole.

Henry म्हणाले...

Natasha is the most liberal name.
Boris the most neutral name.
Rocky is pretty conservative.
Bullwinkle isn't rated.

Natasha: 10.0L
Boris: 0.0C

Natasha Fatale is the ideologue. Boris Badenov is the nihilist.

अनामित म्हणाले...

If only strip clubs had 'new car' smell. Especially when Mercedes or Lexus takes the stage.

अनामित म्हणाले...

Lol - 8.7L.

I'm surprised my (rather unusual) name even shows up in stats. But every other woman of that name I've come across did seem to be a swpl-tastic liberal in politics and "more likely to contribute to a campaign than the average citizen". Most of 'em are probably related to me, alas.

Freeman Hunt म्हणाले...

Freeman is a bit conservative. My given name is a bit liberal.

Justin म्हणाले...

0.4L and less likely than average to contribute to a campaign. Pretty spot on, for me.

Which raises the question, just how large is Althouse's Vietnamese-speaking readership?

अनामित म्हणाले...

Other female names right of center (gathered by punching in the old-ladiest names I could think of): Gertrude, Dolores, Agnes, Betty (but not Elizabeth, Beth, or Liz), Ruby, Eunice, Donna, Doris, Laverne.

"Mary" and "Florence" are close (0.4L and 0.2L), but no cigars.

And the winner (so far) is Edwarda! 10+C. (That's probably from an n of 1.)

Re: "The guessing game begins!"

Megan. What do I win?

MadisonMan म्हणाले...

I have a fairly conservative name (in the 3s) -- more conservative than either of my brothers' names.

My sister has a liberal name.

themightypuck म्हणाले...

Interesting. My name is Christian which is 0.8 liberal but I go by Chris, which is 0.9 conservative. My political opinions are all over the map.

traditionalguy म्हणाले...

In the 1860s South, Freeman was put down as their last name by many black families who did not want their old master's last name anymore.

dbp म्हणाले...

The most conservative female name I could find is Mildred 2.1 C. I figure a good share of the old-fashioned names will come up conservative.

My wife is conservative, not as conservative as me but pretty right-wing for a place like Mass. Her name came up 10L. Perhaps she is either very unusual (given her name) or I have has a salutatory influence on her outlook.

dbp म्हणाले...

had, not has.

dbp म्हणाले...

Mabel 2.4C

One might think "Victoria" or "Chastity" might come up in the C column but no: 4.2L and 5.3L

Dagny was reassuringly conservative at 2.5C Ayn was 6.1L though...sad trombone

madAsHell म्हणाले...

The guessing game begins!

I'm guessing Mary.

Ben Calvin म्हणाले...

I have another winner: 0 names are more liberal than Rain.

A close runner up: 1 name is more liberal than Rainbow: Natasha.

Freeman Hunt म्हणाले...

There is no game. You all win nothing.

No soup for you!

I once met a very cute dancer in a club who told me her name was Portia. A lovely classical name, I said. There aren't enough Portias in the world. I went on to tell her that Portia was one of my favorite characters from Shakespeare. Before she left me she wrote her name and email address on the back of my business card. I looked at it... P-O-R-S-C-H-E

My heart sank like a stone.

Quaestor म्हणाले...

Somebody try ranking these. I'm too bored to do it myself.
