Where Presley is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Presley has been most common in Nevada (3.2×), Utah (2.8×), and Idaho (2.4×), and least common in Connecticut (0.12×).
32,256 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.
