Where Ingrid is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Ingrid has been most common in District of Columbia (2.4×), Minnesota (2×), and New York (2×), and least common in Mississippi (0.13×).

22,766 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.
