Oaklee, Cohen, & Mateo: why are these Gen-Alpha's hottest names?
from It's Been a Minute
Baby names tell a story - about a family's unique history, about a specific moment in time, and even about politics. A survey tracking the top 500 names in states that went red or blue in the 2020 election recently went viral, highlighting popular names like Oakleigh and Stetson in red states, and Santino and Liana in blue states. Brittany is joined by Neda Ulaby, NPR Culture Correspondent, and Naftali Bendavid, Senior National Political Correspondent for the Washington Post to reflect on what popular baby names in red and blue states say about our current political moment.Support public media and receive ad-free listening & bonus content.
