Where Conner is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Conner has been most common in Utah (2.9×), Idaho (2.9×), and Nevada (2.2×), and least common in Massachusetts (0.29×).

55,146 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.
