Where Karrie is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Karrie has been most common in Michigan (2.7×), Wisconsin (2.3×), and Washington (2×), and least common in New Jersey (0.2×).

7,130 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.
