Where Jamie is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Jamie has been most common in Wyoming (1.9×), Alaska (1.8×), and Montana (1.5×), and least common in District of Columbia (0.44×).

353,451 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.
