Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Randall has been most common in Hawaii (2.2×), West Virginia (2.1×), and Iowa (1.9×), and least common in Rhode Island (0.28×).

194,932 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.
