Where Haylee is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Haylee has been most common in Utah (3.6×), Nevada (2.8×), and Oklahoma (1.9×), and least common in Rhode Island (0.36×).

28,519 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.
