Where Natasha is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Natasha has been most common in Hawaii (2.6×), Alaska (2.5×), and New Mexico (1.8×), and least common in Vermont (0.6×).

95,331 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.
