I guess there's some sort of very strong name-preferences->parental quality going on there. Wonder what they're preferring.
From my skimming, seems a lot of it is Muslim related. They tend to use a's a lot. The d value for "a" anywhere is -.50.

Hah! But how much of population R^2 does Muslim country descent explain in other datasets? Sets a lower bound then.

The other analyses are aggregated at country level, not name level. Comparable? r is .78 for Islam%.https://openpsych.net/paper/21

I think you would have to weight by their share of overall population. These first names are population, not group-level.

LASSO picked 81/281 predictors. Fit that model with OLS. R2=43, R2CV = 38%. Wow!
