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