Each suggestion's share of US babies has followed a curve close to Bailey's since 1880, and its recent number of babies is within about twelve times Bailey's, so the names are in the same league. Names starting with the same letter as Bailey or with the same ending are left out, so the names go together without matching. Spellings of Bailey itself are excluded.
