HelpRe: Felix
in reply to a message by Rachel Shaina
I guess "ugh not another one" is subjective and certainly something I (or anyone who's interested in names) will notice more than the general population. The thing is if it does continue to rise I suspect it will be disproportionately popular in my state (Minnesota). Seems very Twin Cities yuppie to me. You usually seem to know what you're talking about wrt popularity trends and stuff though so thank you!

True, region definitely plays into it and looks like you're right that it's more popular in Minnesota (and in midwestern states in general, the south doesn't seem to care for it. New England doesn't either.)
Here's the births for 2016 with the 10 states closest in population to Minnesota.
MN: 42
WI: 42
CO: 35
AL: 12
MD: 17
MO: 27
SC: 7
TN: 21
LA: 10
KY: 12
IN: 38
Here's something wild: Felix does not appear in Delaware's data at all ever.
