Where Jenniffer is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Jenniffer has been most common in California (3.4×), New York (2.2×), and Florida (2.1×), and least common in Pennsylvania (0.51×).

1,242 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.
