Where Remy is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Remy has been most common in Nevada (2.5×), Washington (2.4×), and Colorado (2.2×), and least common in Arkansas (0.29×).

16,952 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.
