Where Storm is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Storm has been most common in Florida (3.3×), Ohio (3.2×), and Pennsylvania (1.9×), and least common in Illinois (0.49×).

2,497 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.
