The most Republican name I can find is Tagg at 69.6%, the most Democratic name I found is Shaniqua at 89.2%.
Conventional names tend to be more Republican.

That's why

Sheniqua 90.2%
Shaniqwa 89.8%
and
Shanniqua 89.8%

Are more Democratic than

Shaniqua 89.2%

75% of those named Hitler are registered Republican, while 75% of those named Gandhi or Jesus are registered Democrats.
Actually Hitler is 71% Democrat, Demon is 85% Democrat.

No Dweezil's.  Does that mean that Mr.Zappa is not registered?

With numbers like that, I feel like Douglas (90th most common, 57.3% R) is probably the most Republican name in the top 100, no?
Yes.  Using the Census Bureau's 1990 list of popular male and female names, and going down to 70 male and 80 female, and then using the SSA list of popular names from the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s I compiled a list of the top 100 names: 49 male, 51 female, though 9 of the top 10 are male.  Most male names are very traditional, while female names tend to be much more fashionable, going in and out of favor.  But because so many boys have traditional names, common names are more frequent among girls.

Based on the 1990 data, the 10th most common female name would be 21st if male, the 20th female would be 35th male, but the 50th female would be 46th male, and the 100th female would be 89th male.

Most Republican Top 10 is Thomas (9th) 54.1% (possible aversion to Blacks having a Tom in the family?).  Among the top 10 names, Joseph is the only Democratic name at 49.6%.  This probably indicates a greater frequency among Catholics, including Hispanics, who were christened in the local language.

Top 20 Republican is Mark (20th) 54.7%.

Republican over 55%:

Donald (26th) 55.1%
Jeffrey (36th) 55.3%
Gary (47th) 55.9% (Gary, Larry, Barry, etc. were popular in the 1940s and 1950s, and atypical for a male name to come and go in frequency.  I suspect that the -y ending gave a sense of a diminutive, perhaps suitable for a boy, but not a man.  The Republican-ness may reflect an aging population.  Among the top 10 male names other than Joseph, Michael is the least Republican at 51.4%, reflecting its more recent heightened popularity.
Scott (54th) 57.2%
Douglas (90th) 57.3%

Perhaps Donald, Scott, and Douglas represent a Scotch, Scotch-Irish influence not transmitted to the Black or later ethnic communities?

Top 100 male names that are Democratic:

Joseph (10th) 49.6%
Anthony (35th) 42.6%
George (38th) 49.8%
Jose (44th) 26.5%
Edward (47th) 48.7%
Eric (58th) 47.6%
Frank (76th) 48.8%
Peter (85th) 49.3%
Jonathan (86th) 49.1%
Raymond (91st) 48.8%
Nicholas (96th) 49.6%

The only top 100 female name that is Republican is Julie (80th) and 51.1%.

Over 49% Republican are:

Susan (21st, 8th Female) 49.7%
Donna (46th) 49.6%
Carol (50th) 49.5%
Rebecca (62nd) 49.1%
Janet (83rd) 49.3%
Heather (78th) 49.3%

So are some named after presidential daughters Julie Nixon and Susan Ford?  Doro(thy) Bush was 29 by the time her father was president, though her 2nd wedding took place at Camp David, and Barbara and Jenna were entering college when their father was being elected.  Carolina and Chelsea are somewhat Democratic than average, but that might be entirely due to their being female names.

I am amused to find that there are actually 132 registered voters in their database named Muon. I might ascribe that to parents who are scientists, but only 50.2% have a college degree which doesn't fit the pattern of the children of parents with advanced education. Is the name used in some foreign language? Huh

Greek?

I found a Chamnan Muon, who in his blog says he is Muon Chamnan.

Nguyen Muon Thi is (was?) a woman soccer player for the Vietnamese women national team.

Muon Srey, originally from Cambodia died in Faribault, Muonesota in 2012.

Pol Pot's 2nd wife was named Muon.

23,410 have my middle name first, 47% R, 53rd percentile, better educated, less religious and less armed.

17,911 have my last name first, 50.8% R, which may reflect the ambiguous gender of the name (it was 67th most common girl name, and 107th most common boy name in the 2000s).  It is the most religious name.

680 persons have my elddim eman delleps sdrawkcab, they are very Democratic, 64.2%, well educated 61.3%, and irreligious 33.3%.

673 persons have my first name spelled backwards, they are extremely Democratic, 84.2% (99th percentile), less educated 44.4%, not particularly religious, 37.8% nor armed 46.8%.

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