Where Tyne sits on the popularity scale
Chance at least one other child shares the name

Put another way: gather 406,284 children born in 2018 and it's an even bet that one of them is another Tyne. In a class of 30 the chance is Under 1%.

Shading is the share of that state's recorded girls given this name, not the raw count — otherwise the map would just show which states are biggest. Unshaded states have no published records for this period. U.S. birth records suppress state-year counts below 5; state counts therefore don't add up to the national total. Every state links to its full rankings. Tyne has too little recent state data to map, so this covers all years from 1910.
