Where Bridgett is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Bridgett has been most common in Mississippi (3.1×), Alabama (3.1×), and Georgia (2.5×), and least common in New Jersey (0.23×).

10,194 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.
