Where Melonie is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Melonie has been most common in Texas (2.4×), Alabama (2.3×), and Louisiana (2.3×), and least common in Indiana (0.59×).

2,529 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.
