Where Jaylene is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Jaylene has been most common in California (4.7×), Nevada (4.3×), and Arizona (3.1×), and least common in Georgia (0.16×).

7,804 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.
