Where Sharonda is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Sharonda has been most common in New Jersey (3.8×), Mississippi (3.1×), and Louisiana (3.1×), and least common in Pennsylvania (0.23×).

4,588 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.
