Where Sandra is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Sandra has been most common in West Virginia (1.5×), Vermont (1.4×), and Maine (1.4×), and least common in Nevada (0.51×).
873,773 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.
