Where Starla is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Starla has been most common in Oklahoma (4.9×), Alabama (3×), and Kansas (2.7×), and least common in Michigan (0.32×).

4,558 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.
