Where Raelynn is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Raelynn has been most common in Kentucky (1.9×), Idaho (1.7×), and Tennessee (1.6×), and least common in Hawaii (0.3×).

32,508 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.
