These are the most popular baby names in every state

Meeting someone with the same name as you can drum up a lot of emotions — excitement, nervousness, annoyance. But whether you delight in or dread meeting a name twin, Business Insider has you covered with a map of the most popular baby names by state, so you know if you’re about to visit an entire state full of people with your name. And if your name is Emma, this is something that will probably happen a lot.
