Where Sandi is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Sandi has been most common in Washington (2.5×), Oregon (2.3×), and California (2.2×), and least common in Kentucky (0.25×).

6,803 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.
