AI Says These Are the Most Stereotypical Names in Your State

AI Says These Are the Most Stereotypical Names in Your State

We often analyze baby name trends at the national level, but local data gives you a better idea of the names you'll hear day-to-day.

We've calculated disproportionately popular names by region — Maeve and Connor are names that mean you live in the Northeast (probably) — and popular names by state gives you a highly localized view of what's trending (like Kinsley in Mississippi or Waylon in West Virginia). Ask a friend, and you can get a good idea of the popular names in their school district or neighborhood.

Today, we've turned to an entirely different source — Artificial Intelligence — to see what it says are the stereotypical trendy names in each state. Is it accurate? Not quite. Entertaining? Absolutely.

Below, see the Top 5 girl and boy names AI associates with your state.
