Where Emmie is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Emmie has been most common in Utah (4.4×), Georgia (4×), and South Carolina (4×), and least common in Pennsylvania (0.4×).

6,563 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.
