Where Sindy is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Sindy has been most common in California (4.7×), New York (3.1×), and Texas (2.3×), and least common in Texas (2.3×).

1,072 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.
