Where Rosalie is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Rosalie has been most common in New Mexico (1.7×), New York (1.6×), and Maryland (1.6×), and least common in Hawaii (0.27×).

76,493 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.
