Where Jeromy is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Jeromy has been most common in Washington (2.8×), Oklahoma (2.7×), and Oregon (2.3×), and least common in New York (0.51×).

2,699 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.
