Same era, but close to Amir
These names follow Amir's curve too, but we left them out above because they share a first letter or an ending with Amir. Some parents like that echo; if you do, start here.
How these were chosen
Each suggestion's share of US babies has followed a curve close to Amir's since 1880, and its recent number of babies is within about twelve times Amir's, so the names are in the same league. Names starting with the same letter as Amir or with the same ending are left out, so the names go together without matching. Spellings of Amir itself are excluded.
