Where Alexis is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Alexis has been most common in Nevada (2.5×), Arizona (2×), and Delaware (1.6×), and least common in Massachusetts (0.6×).
407,568 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.
