One of the things that really jumped out at me was the prevalence of names in red states for girls were oak-based names. In three different varieties. Oak Lynn, Oak Lee, and that's with an L-E-I-G-H, and then Oak Lee with an L-E-E.

One of the funny things about these names, Blakely, Collins, there's a lot of gender ambiguity there, which is especially surprising, I think, in the trad wife context. Although much has been made of this list of the differences between red names and blue names and so forth, the truth is that the most popular names are the same across both red and blue states. Everybody likes Liam.

Everybody likes Olivia. Everyone likes Noah. Everyone likes Emma. The most popular names are still the most popular names by far.

You know, I grew up in Lawrence, Kansas as a child, and there were not a lot of Nettas there. And when my family moved to Michigan when I was 12, I immediately changed my name, my first name Netta, to my middle name, which is Elizabeth. And it turns out that I was the kid that they had named to me.

I'm going to go with Bruce. I agree. I have a vague memory that he may have sold his catalog. And while you can make a lot of money from Seinfeld residuals, I don't think that those have spiked recently.
