Where Margie is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Margie has been most common in Arkansas (2.9×), Mississippi (2.7×), and Kentucky (2.6×), and least common in Connecticut (0.06×).

99,354 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.
