Where Adaline is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Adaline has been most common in Nevada (2.8×), Utah (2.4×), and Idaho (2.3×), and least common in New Jersey (0.35×).

15,763 births recorded by state, 1910–2025. 2× means twice as common as nationally. States with fewer than 30 such births are left blank, and SSA withholds any year with fewer than 5 in a state, so small states read low.
