Chrissy by decade

Where Chrissy is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Chrissy has been most common in Louisiana (2.9×), Oklahoma (2×), and Tennessee (1.9×), and least common in New Jersey (0.52×).
2,187 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.
