Looks like the Washington Post recently published an article which allows you to track the political leanings of your first and last name:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2024/09/13/popular-names-republican-democrat

First Name (John): 16% Dem
Last Name (Thornton): 11% Rep

For Inna, she is:

First Name: 25% Dem
Last Name: 71% Dem

How do(es) your name(s) rank? You don’t have to tell us what your name is, but how do they rank?

Not that recently.

Is your name “democratic” or “republican”?

This article says whether certain common names are most likely to lean Democratic or Republican (by registration). Although one might guess this is close to 50-50, it ain’t. Just as many medical specialties lean one way or the other, there are differences between common, “ethnic” and “traditional biblical” names. The article link is here. Gift links have been pretty limited recently so will consider adding more on request, to unknown effect. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2024/09/1…

Ahhh, never mind. I’ll ask the mods to close this one.
