Where Hailee is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Hailee has been most common in Utah (4.7×), Idaho (3.9×), and Nevada (3.1×), and least common in Alabama (0.32×).

14,648 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.
