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