Where Kyla is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Kyla has been most common in Nevada (2.4×), Montana (1.9×), and Hawaii (1.9×), and least common in New Hampshire (0.36×).
41,064 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.
