Where Eloise is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Eloise has been most common in Alabama (2.6×), South Carolina (2.6×), and Georgia (2.1×), and least common in New Mexico (0.35×).

66,476 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.
