Where Flynn is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Flynn has been most common in Utah (3.8×), Oregon (2.5×), and Washington (2.5×), and least common in Tennessee (0.46×).
4,663 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.
