Where Vladimir is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Vladimir has been most common in Florida (3.7×), New York (3.5×), and California (2.6×), and least common in Pennsylvania (0.32×).

3,776 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.
