Where Roseanne is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Roseanne has been most common in New York (4.5×), Pennsylvania (3.4×), and New Jersey (3×), and least common in Texas (0.31×).

4,698 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.
