The story
Kamryn is the K-signature laid over Camryn, the same deliberate letter Kade sets over Cade and Kameron over Cameron, and the couple's arithmetic is close: Camryn about 35,700, Kamryn about 30,200, rising and settling together on the same clock. Kamryn is also the more shared of the pair: about 24,800 girls to 5,400 boys, nearly one boy in six, where Camryn runs about one in eight. The record: about 2,100 in the 1990s, 12,100 in the 2000s, 11,100 holding through the 2010s, and 4,800 so far this decade. The K-census our records keep now counts this one twice over, K on the front and the clan in the middle. One sound, four spellings across two generations, and the ledger charting every one of them separately: families vote letter by letter.
