Where Darci is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Darci has been most common in Iowa (5.8×), Oregon (5.7×), and South Dakota (5.4×), and least common in Pennsylvania (0.53×).

3,680 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.
