Where Kaylene is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Kaylene has been most common in Utah (10×), California (3×), and Arizona (2.5×), and least common in Florida (0.48×).

2,129 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.
