Where Annabella is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Annabella has been most common in Nevada (2.7×), Florida (2.7×), and Arizona (2.2×), and least common in Nebraska (0.36×).

13,299 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.
