Where Myla is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Myla has been most common in Nevada (2.5×), Florida (1.8×), and Arizona (1.8×), and least common in Mississippi (0.47×).

19,735 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.
