Where Carlota is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Carlota has been most common in New Mexico (17×), Texas (7×), and Florida (6.1×), and least common in California (1.3×).

1,246 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.
