Where Aimee is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Aimee has been most common in Utah (2×), Louisiana (1.9×), and Oregon (1.5×), and least common in District of Columbia (0.36×).

50,524 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.
