So the bluer names are ethnic and the redder names are terrible. Interesting trend.

    Having a girl in a red state? You are legally required to end it in "lynn," "leigh," "ly" or "ley".

    Con. Mother: "Let's name our daughter after a tree. What's that name people use from a tree that is strong, but bends under pressure so that it never breaks?"

    Con. Father: "Oak?"

    Con. Mother: "No, that one definitely breaks under pressure. Also, oak is dense. Do you want our daughter to be dense?"

    Con. Father: "....Professor Oak?"

    Con. Mother: "Oh... It may be inevitable that our daughter will be dense. Let's go with 'oak'."
