Where Rylee is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Rylee has been most common in Utah (3.1×), Nevada (2.8×), and Idaho (2.7×), and least common in District of Columbia (0.11×).

71,938 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.
