Where Rosalee is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Rosalee has been most common in South Carolina (5.8×), West Virginia (4.3×), and Missouri (2.7×), and least common in Minnesota (0.31×).

7,819 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.
