Where Cindi is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Cindi has been most common in Oregon (2.7×), Washington (2.6×), and California (2.1×), and least common in Virginia (0.26×).

5,229 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.
