Where Nathalie is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Nathalie has been most common in Florida (3.6×), California (2.9×), and Nevada (2.2×), and least common in Ohio (0.04×).

15,841 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.
