      **TL;DR:** These aren’t the most popular names overall. They are the names that appear in a specific state significantly more often than the national average.

      **Data source:** U.S. Social Security Administration (2024)
      **Tools:** Python / SQL / Hex

      I wanted to explore state-specific naming quirks, but the most popular names in most states are the same as the top 10 most popular names nationwide. Instead, I calculated the z-score for every name in every state. That allowed me to identify which names were used significantly more than expected and how extreme the overuse actual is.

      You can read the whole write-up in [a blog post here](https://medium.com/@three-things/three-southern-states-really-hate-the-name-leo-9c97a093022a).

      Funny how you can see that snobbish Latinos go to Miami because of the “trendy” names

      both NJ names def due to the orthodox population in Lakewood skewing the results

      lol at the boys names in WA/OR, both are the names of elite chess grandmasters. Like top 20 in the world.

      I wonder if New York’s Abraham and Sarah are because of the relatively high Jewish population in NYC.

      Regardless I like that they fit together like a pair (like Utah’s Indy and Jones)

      The Plain White T’s being from the Chicago area makes this really funny

      So Jayson makes sense for MA based on Jayson Tatum.
      And I’m guessing this accounts for alt spellings, so Jason isn’t overused but Jayson is, which is kinda interesting.

      Edit: I get it now. Jason is used more universally so it’s not overused in MA. Jayson is only popular in MA. Makes sense now.

      What is Reem (Michigan)? And the unfortunate jokes that will be associated with that name…..

      West Virginia boys named “Coal – son” like how people were named for the family business , “Miller, Smith, Shitshoveler …”

      Washington has a *significantly* larger South Asian popular than I thought for Anika and Arjun to be their „overused“ names

      Used to live on a Regina St. I hated the name, sounds like vagina. Why would you name your daughter that? Unless it is pronounced Reg-ee-na?

      Arkansan: I do know a Blakely. I do not and have never known a fucking *Titus* ?
