Where Kailee is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Kailee has been most common in Hawaii (8.2×), Utah (2.7×), and Washington (2.2×), and least common in Connecticut (0.33×).

11,076 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.
