Where Maddie is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Maddie has been most common in Utah (3.8×), Tennessee (3×), and Louisiana (2.2×), and least common in Washington (0.51×).

3,822 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.
