Where Clementine is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Clementine has been most common in North Carolina (2.6×), Oregon (2.2×), and Washington (2.1×), and least common in Kentucky (0.57×).

9,240 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.
