Where Lizzie is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Lizzie has been most common in Mississippi (8.2×), South Carolina (8×), and Georgia (6.9×), and least common in Illinois (0.03×).

20,845 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.
