Where Rosemarie is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Rosemarie has been most common in New York (3.6×), New Jersey (3.2×), and Pennsylvania (2.7×), and least common in North Carolina (0.02×).

46,027 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.
