Where Racquel is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Racquel has been most common in Louisiana (4.2×), New York (2.4×), and California (2.4×), and least common in Georgia (0.48×).

2,645 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.
