Where Daisy is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Daisy has been most common in South Carolina (2.5×), California (2.1×), and Mississippi (2×), and least common in Rhode Island (0.13×).

134,972 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.
