Where Braydon is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Braydon has been most common in Utah (3.5×), Idaho (2.2×), and Indiana (2.2×), and least common in New York (0.35×).

12,835 births recorded by state, 1910–2025. 2× means twice as common as nationally. States with fewer than 30 such births are left blank, and SSA withholds any year with fewer than 5 in a state, so small states read low.
