Where Gigi is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Gigi has been most common in California (3.8×), New York (1.9×), and Illinois (1.5×), and least common in North Carolina (0.48×).

2,284 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.
