Where Cloe is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Cloe has been most common in Florida (2.5×), Arizona (2.1×), and Texas (2.1×), and least common in New York (0.56×).

2,079 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.
