Where Robby is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Robby has been most common in Oklahoma (2.7×), Texas (2.4×), and Georgia (2×), and least common in New York (0.26×).

7,104 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.
