Where Jaylynn is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Jaylynn has been most common in New Mexico (2.8×), Texas (2.1×), and Florida (1.9×), and least common in Minnesota (0.3×).

7,584 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.
