Where Kasandra is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Kasandra has been most common in Arizona (2.7×), California (2.6×), and Nevada (2.4×), and least common in North Carolina (0.19×).

6,485 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.
