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