Where Richie is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Richie has been most common in New York (3×), California (2.7×), and Tennessee (2.1×), and least common in Michigan (0.27×).

3,611 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.
