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