Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Anne has been most common in Massachusetts (2.7×), District of Columbia (2.4×), and Connecticut (2.1×), and least common in Nevada (0.23×).
309,406 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.
