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