Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Leslee has been most common in Utah (4.6×), California (2.8×), and Michigan (2.1×), and least common in Indiana (0.64×).

1,956 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.
