Where Goldie is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Goldie has been most common in West Virginia (8×), Kentucky (4.5×), and Oklahoma (3.5×), and least common in Connecticut (0.11×).

24,787 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.
