Lanie peaked in 2006, when 225 babies got the name.
At least 5,637 babies have been given the name since 1880. Years SSA withheld, because fewer than 5 were born, are skipped rather than drawn as zero. * 2025 is the newest year published and it undercounts: a card application is filed some time after a birth.

Where Lanie is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Lanie has been most common in Louisiana (6.1×), Oklahoma (2.9×), and North Carolina (2.7×), and least common in Pennsylvania (0.34×).
2,590 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.
