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