Where Alexi is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Alexi has been most common in California (3.2×), Florida (2.4×), and Texas (2×), and least common in Ohio (0.61×).

2,697 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.
