Where Lottie is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Lottie has been most common in South Carolina (4.6×), Mississippi (4.4×), and Alabama (3×), and least common in California (0.09×).

29,636 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.
