Where Cayden is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Cayden has been most common in Nevada (2×), Florida (1.9×), and Georgia (1.7×), and least common in Vermont (0.54×).
41,167 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.
