Where Tina is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Tina has been most common in Vermont (1.5×), West Virginia (1.4×), and Indiana (1.4×), and least common in Minnesota (0.66×).

287,134 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.
