Where Jeannie is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Jeannie has been most common in Oklahoma (2×), Arkansas (1.7×), and Oregon (1.5×), and least common in Connecticut (0.23×).

31,754 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.
