You said "in map 2, you'd be sky blue". Since your map refers to geographical areas, I thought you meant that on your map, France would be sky blue.

No, I'm talking about you specifically, as an individual. It should be easy now....Wink
Is it the most popular baby names, maps one and two being girls and boys, respectively?

Well, I doubt Antonio is the most popular baby name anywhere in the USA. Tongue

Though, it could be the first letter of the most popular baby name...

Yes! Numbers are from 2009 (currently the last year with state data).

Well, no, not "Antonio", but its American English equivalent (Anthony) is. Wink

By the way, re: your name, I thought you were Italian or Spanish when you first came on the forum. Isn't it "Antoine" in French?

And, no, it's not letters, we're dealing with actual names, with each color being a different name.

For reference:


All numbers taken from http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/state/top5_2009.html

Remember, map 1 = girls, map 2 = boys

So Anthony is the most popular name in RI and NV ? Interesting. Wink I'm gonna have a look at the link you posted, to get some other surprises...


And I'm actually Italian (ie both my parents are), but I live in France since the age of 4 so it makes more sense for me to have a French avatar. Smiley

I rather suspect that this is a case of everybody wanting to be different, so they come up with a name that they think is original and cool, but it's really not. My cousin's name is Brianna, and my aunt is always surprised at how many other Briannas there are in her age group, but it was the 17th most popular name in 2002 (the year of her birth).

You're certainly right. But I've never understood what's the sake of being "different" and all... Really, traditional names are usually just better than original names.

The three turquoise states (Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico) are all swing states (though NM might be blue).

Am I on to something?

Yes, but it's not obvious.



Hint:  The closest state is New Hampshire, with a margin of a mere 38 votes.

Did you transfer a certain percentage of votes from Nixon to Wallace in each state?

I'm taking a stab in the dark here: Kemp/Dole vs. Perot/Wilder vs. someone/else 1992?

All of the blue states were carried by Thomas Dewey in 1948. All of the red states were carried by Harry Truman in 1948.
