Where Dominique is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Dominique has been most common in District of Columbia (2.9×), New Mexico (1.8×), and Louisiana (1.6×), and least common in West Virginia (0.13×).

68,959 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.
