Where Braylon is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Braylon has been most common in Louisiana (3.5×), Arkansas (3×), and Mississippi (2.8×), and least common in Massachusetts (0.12×).
17,767 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.
