Where Jeannine is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Jeannine has been most common in Maine (7.6×), Rhode Island (5.8×), and New Hampshire (4.1×), and least common in North Carolina (0.1×).

20,641 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.
