Nadine peaked in 1958, when 1,011 babies got the name.
At least 53,424 babies have been given the name since 1887. Years SSA withheld, because fewer than 5 were born, are skipped rather than drawn as zero. * 2025 is the newest year published and it undercounts: a card application is filed some time after a birth.
Nadine by decade

Where Nadine is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Nadine has been most common in Hawaii (2.8×), Kansas (2.2×), and Oklahoma (2.1×), and least common in Delaware (0.31×).
48,193 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.
