Where Tayla is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Tayla has been most common in Rhode Island (14×), Massachusetts (5.8×), and Louisiana (3.3×), and least common in Illinois (0.39×).

3,097 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.
