Where Millie is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Millie has been most common in Utah (3.2×), Alabama (2.2×), and Mississippi (2.1×), and least common in New Mexico (0.18×).

35,873 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.
