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.
