Same era, but close to Cohen
These names follow Cohen's curve too, but we left them out above because they share a first letter or an ending with Cohen. 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 Cohen's since 1880, and its recent number of babies is within about twelve times Cohen's, so the names are in the same league. Names starting with the same letter as Cohen or with the same ending are left out, so the names go together without matching. Spellings of Cohen itself are excluded.
