Where Julie is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Julie has been most common in Iowa (2.1×), Minnesota (2.1×), and Wisconsin (2×), and least common in Mississippi (0.43×).

507,821 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.
