Where Kyleigh is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Kyleigh has been most common in Alabama (2.2×), Mississippi (2.1×), and Louisiana (1.9×), and least common in Minnesota (0.37×).

18,461 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.
