Baby names more common in the Northeast

How this list is chosen

The Northeast is the US Census region of that name. For one recorded-sex category, the index divides the name’s share of published births in the region by its share of published US births. The regional count adds state rows of at least 20. A state with no stored row is omitted, not treated as zero, so the regional count is a lower bound. A name needs an index of at least 1.2, at least 200 published records in the region, and rows in at least 5 states in the region. The table keeps the highest indexes. It is not the list of names with the most births in the region’s largest states. Look up one spelling by state.
