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